Ninety slides of Visio clipart? I didn't realize that Microsoft had made
enough category-specific clipart to make a 90-slide presentation about
*anything,* but then my previous message already tells you that I wouldn't
be one to seek such information anyway.

If the images are of a TIFF or JPEG variety, they should transfer just fine,
but Microsoft clipart (what format are those images anyway, does anyone
know?) doesn't always survive the transition. This may be a shortcoming for
some users, but it's not for me.
