I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, if not please let me know. In Windows Live Messenger I try to create custom emoticons using pics from Clip Art Organiser but when I'm asked to "Find Image" I am unable to locate my Clip Art Organiser containing pictures that I've downloaded from Clip Art. I've tried everything but no luck. I contacted a Clip Art discussion group but was told to contact a Messenger group instead! Any assistance would be gratefully received even if it is to say that I cannot do what I'm trying to do - at least then I'll know and I can then give up!! Thank you. |

Greetings, I assume you mean the Organizer from Microsoft Office applications -- you actually can use all the types used in this application as Messenger emoticons. However, you need to know the exact path to the image in question. To do so, open up the organizer however you normally do and find an image. Hover over it and click the arrow that shows up, then choose Preview/Properties. In the window that pops up after that, look at the bottom for the 'File'. Either make note of it, or even select and copy (using Ctrl-C -- right-clicking won't work here). Next go into the Messenger emoticon dialog, click Add and use the file specified in the previous dialog (or just Paste it there). You'll then be able to use it as an emoticon. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Minxii" <Minxii@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CD5B4172-0EC5-431D-9432-D12665BD3A80@microsoft.com... > I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, if not please > let me know.

Additionally, the Microsoft Clip Organizer default folder for graphics is located within your "My Documents" folder, being named "Microsoft Clip Organizer". As the files therein only have ID-like names not referring to any keywords or tagging, it is of course better to locate the item you want to import in Messenger, within the Clip Organizer application, as Jonathan suggested. Just in case you'd need direct access to all your Clip Organizer image files =) mynetx "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@jonathankay.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:F015EC75-1762-4E94-A731-F7B3849D5CBE@microsoft.com... > Greetings, > > I assume you mean the Organizer from Microsoft Office applications -- you > actually can use all the types used in this application as Messenger > emoticons.
