Office used to have a great selection of clip art.  I relied on it for teaching and it seems the offerings have seriously shrunk.  I used a series with the keyword 'teen' for my students worksheets and now they are no longer in the menu!  In fact, nothing comes up at all with this keyword anymore.  What's up!?!

If I type teen in WORD I get loads back.

Try the following (I am working in WORD):-

Insert tab / Illustrations group / click on Clip Art and the Clip Art Task Pane should launch on the right hand side.

In the Search for: box type:-

teen

Make sure that Search in: is set to:-

All collections

Make sure that Results should be: is set to:-

All media file types

Hit Go

Now you should get plenty of Clip Art back.

    As far as I can tell, we no longer get the option to choose a category. It's just a search box with an error message below it. :-(

    If you select "Illustration" rather than "All" (the default), you'll get clip art rather than mostly photos.
