     The problem is with the method the clip art is brought together in 
the package. The clip is organized by author, or so it seems. Having 
browsed through the gallery of this clip art and their names, I don't 
see a way to search for themes. I did see some words in the names of 
some of the clip art, but they were very specific such as the word shoe 
or shark.
     My personal opinion is that this clip art package is a huge 
headache in the making. As you noticed, installing the package removed 
the original gallery. I removed it after installing it. Now I have my 
original gallery which is theme organized.
     If I needed clip art now that the clip art package is removed, I 
would search for what I wanted. When I found it, I would create the 
themes needed and add the clip art to the appropriate theme.
