If you have Microsoft products, there are over 150,000 clips on the Office
web site.

What does that mean "if you have Microsoft products"?
It looks like anyone could open the page and use it.
It doesn't ask if you have Microsoft products first.
I just looked at random, clicked to copy, and pasted it in a Word Doc. Then
pasted it into FLASH MX and as a new image in Corel PSP X
Well, you probably used IE to do that, since that "click to copy to
clipboard" item doesn't show up when you visit the page using Firefox.
That's a semi-quibble, since getting a Windows system without IE is
pretty hard. Were you on Linux, different story. Then just the low-rez
images displayed in the browser are available, I'd guess (can't test
it). Maybe Opera or other browsers decode the MS-unique stuff on that
page better, or masquerade as IE better, or something.
But: What he was probably referring to was that the MS online library is
more integrated into Word & PPT than into others: You can select a
bunch of them, after which a single click sucks them all into your
Word/PPT/whatever local clipart library, along with tags letting you
search them by content.
I mean just to try it.
Uh huh. :-)
Maybe you mean it's copyright and only legal to use it with MS products? (I
didn't use it, I just pasted it to test)
I think the first page has the copyright story. You basically can use it
in stuff you don't sell. School projects, your own reports, all OK.
That sure is a lot of clip art!
I agree!
I usually forget about the online sources.
Once upon a time I actually bought a CD with a big collection of
clipart. I'm amazed that such things are still for sale. These days, my
first stop for almost anything is Google.
