While creating some
teaching aids with Print Shop Ensemble III,
I used clipart graphics from a commercial CD-ROM.
When transferring the Print Shop file from my laptop
to the classroom desktops, Print Shop would not display
the graphic, reporting an ‘Unable to find Library’
error. What am I doing wrong? |
When
you wish to use clipart other than the one already provided
within Print Shop Ensemble III, you usually go
to the Menu and select Object > Add > Import. This
will enable you to access any other clipart CD-ROM and select
additional graphics. When this is done, Print Shop makes
note of the location from where the image was accessed,
and refers to it in the saved project. So when you transfer
the project to another computer (or even if you re-load
the project on your own computer), Print Shop will invariably
look for the image in device D:/ (the common reference for
the CD-ROM). This may also happen if you import a graphic
from any folder on your hard disk.
This is what happens when Print
Shop doesn't find an image.
To solve the problem, you will need to instruct Print Shop
to embed the graphic in the project. This means that the
graphic will actually make part of the project, and will
always be present wherever you transfer the project. When
loading the project, Print Shop will not look for the image
on the hard disk or the CD-ROM, as it will be embedded in
the document.
To embed the imported images, go to Save. Before clicking
OK, click on the Options button. A window similar to the
one below should appear. Make sure to click on Full Save
(All Data). Next time you open the document, the image should
appear instead of the grey placeholder.

This is what to do to avoid the
problem.
