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.

    Office.com has been shut down, according to the message on screen when I click on the Office.com link imbedded in Word 2010.

    What you can do is search for images, for example at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/. The search still works, even though the page displays an error message... (Of course, images and clipart are not the same.)

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

    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. :-(
