The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack

SYMPTOMS

The popular clipart that is installed with Office 97 cannot be previewed in the FrontPage Editor.

CAUSE

The popular clipart that is installed with Office 97 is in the Windows Metafile (WMF) format. FrontPage Editor can only display JPG and GIF images; it does not have the ability to display WMF files.

RESOLUTION

To insert the WMF files in the FrontPage Editor, use the appropriate method:

FrontPage 98

  1. On the Insert menu, click Image.

  2. In the Image dialog box, click "Select a file on your computer."

  3. In the Select File dialog box, select the WMF File you want, and then click OK.

FrontPage 97

  1. On the Insert menu, click Image, and then click the Other Location tab.

  2. Click Browse, locate and select the WMF file, and then click Open.

NOTE: Office 97 clipart is installed in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Clipart folder by default.

MORE INFORMATION

The most common image file formats for use on the Web are Graphics InterChange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG). Although some Web browsers do support some additional graphics formats, formats such as WMF are not widely supported. You should avoid using non-supported images on your Web pages.
