Screen Freezes when using clip art for Word 2007
Each time I try to use the clip art function in Word 2007, my screen freezes
up. The only way to unlock this is to go to Task Manager and end task. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Screen Freezes when using clip art for Word 2007
Hi J.P,
For Office 2007 the clipart engine basically tries to access the online graphics collection and if it's not been given access through the firewall you can see this behavior (not just in the 2007 version) while the clipart manager app is trying to connect to where it thinks the pictures are . If you let it sit for about 5-10 minutes does it 'let go'. ================ "JP" wrote in message ... Each time I try to use the clip art function in Word 2007, my screen freezes up. The only way to unlock this is to go to Task Manager and end task. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

This was kind of helpful - tells us where the potential problem might be.
Do you have a solution on either how to allow Firewall access or to disable Word attempting to access online. Thanks in advance, Elliot.

Screen Freezes when using clip art for Word 2007
This freeze up problem happens to me all the time on all systems running Word 2007. These messages are from November, has anyone figured out how to fix this? It's quite frustrating to have to reboot every time. The Clip Art works in Excel, so I open that, pick the Clip Art I want, then cut/paste to Word. I have the same question as Bruno1.
