PPT97: Obtaining Higher-Resolution Versions of Clip Art Photos

Some of the clip art that ships with Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and Microsoft Office 97 are digital photographs stored in the JPEG File Interchange Format (.jpg) graphics format. These files are generally around 300x500 pixels and were created at about 170 dpi. They are located in the \Clipart\Photos folder on the Microsoft PowerPoint 97 or Microsoft Office 97 compact disc.

These photographs were licensed from a company called PhotoDisc. If you want to obtain additional images or higher resolution versions of these images, you can purchase them directly from PhotoDisc.

For additional information, open the Microsoft Word document called Photodsc.doc located in the \Clipart\Photos folder on the PowerPoint 97 or Office 97 compact disc.
