Adding clipart to the clipart gallery

You can easily add folders of your own clipart to the Clipart Gallery. The Clipart Gallery automatically creates thumbnail images for any folder containing graphics files so you can see your files in the gallery. You can add both vector and bitmap files to the Clipart Gallery. Once you have added a folder of files to the gallery, you can add more files to the folder, see Adding files to a gallery.
