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.
