Linking clip art text to doc   

Hi,

Does anyone know how to link clip art text to a web page as when I try to 
save it as a pic then insert the pic then it loses loads of resolution / 
quality.

Thanks in advance

There are different ways to accomplish that, so I'll ass-u-me for 
now, you're using Insert, Picture?  Especially since you 
mentioned no operating system or versions, etc. etc..

At any rate, when you get the dialog box to choose the clip to 
insert, check the Insert button in the lower right and notice it 
has a down arrow.  Click that down arrow and you should have a 
choice there to Insert As Link instead of just Insert.

Remember, it's a link, though.  Moving the document or the 
artwork will break the link and all you'll see is a box with a 
red X in it.  Where the artwork is w/r to the document must 
remain for it to continue to work.

Actually I'm wondering why you're seeing any loss in quality or 
if this will even make any difference; I suspect something else 
is at work here.  More detail would be required to make any 
further considerations.

HTH,

Sorry. Win XP Pro and I meant word art rather than clip art.


Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Linking clip art text to doc   

Well, lacking enough detail:

   If you're trying to use Word to create web pages, well, I 
can't help much there.  Although IMO it's the wrong way to do web 
pages, that should keep the detail without much loss, so I'm no 
help there.

Depending on your web page authoring app;
You could do the WordArt in Word, then Save As WEb Page, which 
will save the WordArt as a graphic, and then Insert that graphic 
into the web page as a link.  In fact, while it's a separate 
graphic you could use a graphic editor (Not Word's) to 
clarify/brighten/contrast the graphic at the same time if you 
wanted to.

If you're trying to get the WordArt out of Word with a Copy and 
then a Paste into your web page, that's likely where you're 
losing resolution.  Or, you are resizing it too much.  Save As 
WEb Page would be the best way to get something to use on the web 
page, IMO, depending.

Good luck
