The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5 for Windows 95 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Works version 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.5, when you insert and then resize clipart
from the Clip Gallery version 3.0, the resizing will be lost when you do any of
the following:
 
 - save the file
 - copy/paste the clipart image
 - move the clipart image
 - double-click the image and start the Clip Gallery.
 
When the resizing is lost, the object will return to its original size.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Microsoft has created a self extracting file called Clip3.exe that contains an
updated version of Wksole32.dll which corrects this problem. Pasting the clipart
image as a picture also allows you to retain the resize formatting. For steps on
how to accomplish these tasks see the relevant section later in this article.
 
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Software
Library:
 
   Clip3.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/Clip3.exe)
 
Release Date: Nov-18-1996

After Downloading Clip3.exe
---------------------------
 
1. Using Windows Explorer, go to the location where you saved Clip3.exe.
 
2. Double-click Clip3.exe to extract the following 2 files:
 
    - Readme.txt
    - Wksole32.dll
 
   NOTE: If you cannot see Wksole32.dll, dll file types may be "hidden" in
   Windows 95. To view dll files, see the "Show Hidden Files" section below.
 
3. Click Wksole32.dll to select it.
 
4. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
 
5. Using Windows Explorer, change to your Msworks folder. If you installed Works
   to the default folder this will be C:\Program Files\Msworks.
 
6. You will see a copy of Wksole32.dll in this folder. Click the file once to
   select it.
 
7. On the Edit menu, click Rename.
 
8. Type "Wksole32.old" (without the quotation marks) and press the ENTER key.
 
9. On the Edit menu, click Paste. This will paste the new copy of Wksole32.dll
   into your Msworks folder.
 
Show Hidden Files
-----------------
 
You may not find the Wksole32.dll even though it was successfully extracted from
the Clip3.exe file. This happens if dll file types are hidden in Windows 95. To
view these files, do the following:
 
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
 
2. On the View menu, click Options.
 
3. In the Hidden Files section of the View tab, click Show All Files. Click OK.
 
You will now be able to view dll file extensions on your computer.
 
Inserting Clipart as Picture
----------------------------
 
To insert the clipart image as a picture and retain the resizing, follow these
steps:
 
1. Open the Word Processing document.
 
2. On the Insert menu, click ClipArt.
 
3. Select a clipart image or picture and click Insert.
 
4. On the Edit menu, click Cut.
 
5. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
 
6. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Picture and click OK.
 
You will now be able to resize the clipart image and retain the size change when
formatting and saving the file.
