There is a mountain of free artwork available on the internet. Use your
favourite search engine to locate what you want. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org melcam wrote: how can i download clipart for free? anybody there who could help me? thanks, mel |

Put in search "free clip art" and if you want something specific put that
in, too. I have a folder set up in FAVORITES for links to this, but I usually just put it in again, when I'm looking for something else. Anything you like, or use or think you might use, save in a folder in your computer. I think there's a way of setting this up so it goes into the clip art folder that comes with Word, etc but I'm not sure how. I just scroll to it when I'm looking for something I can't find in the built in clip art.

If you have Microsoft products, there are over 150,000 clips on the Office web
site. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/cl...321031033.aspx -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "melcam" wrote in message ... how can i download clipart for free? anybody there who could help me? thanks, mel |

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 I mean just to try it. 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) That sure is a lot of clip art! I usually forget about the online sources. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "melcam" wrote in message ... how can i download clipart for free? anybody there who could help me? thanks, mel |

If you don't have the Clip Organizer or the Clip Gallery you cannot download the
clips. If you do not have a Microsoft product you cannot download the ActiveX control. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Carrie" wrote in message ...

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. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "melcam" wrote in message ... how can i download clipart for free? anybody there who could help me? thanks, mel -- Greg |

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. I know someone who works for a local newspaper, doing the page set ups, and she says they subscribe to something (clipart.com?) where they pay a yearly fee and sign in and get anything they want, as needed. To use on the ads and various places in the paper. I don't usually think of clip art, when I insert something I go to my own files and look first. I used to belong to an egroup that sent around clip art, some made some found online. It was really too much, I couldn't keep up with it. The people on it must have spent every waking minute looking for clips to include or making them, or setting up "signatures" for themselves and others. When I first joined I asked if it was okay to use the clip art, was it "free for the taking?" and was told if it was on the group, it was okay to take and use. I don't know what they based this on. I have an idea once something gets on the internet, and passed around and used and reused and changed and used, the orignal source of it (and any rules for using it) are lost. But, there sure is a lot of it, that's for sure. |
