does anyone know how to display the clipart like in older
versions of office so my kindergarten children dont have
to ask me how to spell dog or cat 50 times a day

any clue appreciated
 
Hi Mal,

You can do something similar by having them click on Organize Clips at the bottom of the Clip Art window. They can then view the thumbnails by clicking on the folders on the left side of the window. The only downside is to insert a clip art into their slide from here, they'll have to click on the drop down arrow, select Copy, click on their slide and then click on the Paste button on the toolbar.

Perhaps you could write a list of the traditional categories (i.e. animal, background, etc.) on the board and then they could just pick from the list to enter the search criteria (as an alternative)

Or just drag the clip onto the slide from the clip organizer.

Click to expand...

Another idea ... how about a second presentation that contains just the clip
art you want them to use, maybe on just one slide. They could open it and copy
whatever they need w/o having to spell it.

Or put up a drawing/poster/whatever where they can see it:

[sketch of dog] = "DOG"
[sketch of cat] = "CAT"
