What happened to all the clip art?

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.

If my comments have helped please Vote As Helpful.

Thanks.

    Yes! I miss that search for similar styled clipart too. I used that quite a bit for newsletters, web sites, etc. :(

    If you look in the Clip Art pane under the drop down "Search in", you will see "Web Collections", and drilling down further you should see "Microsoft Office", which is the on-line collection.  

    The thing that is missing when you do it that way is the ability to search by Style. Sometimes a piece of clipart will have many similar pieces. The use of matching clipart gives a stylistic look to a document that might otherwise appear rather plebeian with a bunch of disparate clipart.

    To: klink1972 - Just checked my clipart search settings to be sure all proper options were checked and they are just as you suggested, including the "Microsoft Office" option. Still nothing. The insert "Online Pictures" option MS refers to in the instructions that do come up doesn't exist. ARGH is right!
