SUMMARY

Microsoft ClipArt Gallery 2.0 stores categories, descriptions, and thumbnail images in a file called Artgalry.cag. You may acquire additional .cag (ClipArt database) files from various sources. These sources may include the following:

  • Backup or old copies of your Artgalry.cag
  • Commercial Clip Art packages
  • The Publisher for Windows 95 CD-ROM
  • The Popular.cag file from a network installation of PowerPoint 95 or Office 95.

You can manually combine the information in an external .cag file with the information in your own Artgalry.cag. This prevents you from having to manually add each image and type in a description and category.

Microsoft Clip Gallery 3.0 also uses .cag files. The main file is called Artgalry.cag and is the same as the file used by ClipArt Gallery 2.0. If you acquire additional .cag files, however, these files are not merged with Artgalry.cag. They remain separate.
