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.

    I noted in response to the same question under Publisher that the Great Britain site still allows you to search for clipart:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/images/

    as does the Canada site:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/images/

    I agree that the majority of clip art items are brought in from Microsoft when you use Insert > Clip Art. 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 new on-line set-up on the Microsoft site leaves a bit to be desired in functionality.

    Unfortunately, these sites are no longer available.  Thus far, this is the only one that has come close to the original but by no means is it easier to use that the "one click" clip art that was in the programming.  Guess it is better than nothing.
