I have Windows 2000 Professional. I used to be able to
successfully download Clip Art images saved as .wmf
files. The Clip Art website, however, has been changed
such that downloaded Clip Art images are now .cil files,
and I cannot open them in Windows 2000. If I try to open
the image in Word 2000, I get no image but a lot of
computer code.

How can I open the images and save them in my Clip Art
folder that I can use in a greeting software program I
purchased?
