Cindy and CyberTaz,

Thanks for the help! I'm sorry -- I forgot to tell you that I have Word 2003.

I found another way to edit the color of clipart. I click on the inserted
clipart and then on "edit picture." I click on the clipart again, and then on
"format autoshape." I then click on the "colors and lines" drop down menu to
select a color

Hi ?B?VG9vZHk=?=,

Can I still edit the color of Microsoft clipart? I know that many years ago,
the clipart that I received with Word was editable. For instance, I was able
to select a green musical note, right click on it, and select grouping, then
"change color."

Unfortunately, you don't tell us which version of Word you're working with, so
it's not certain we can tell you the proper command to look for. The answer is
Yes, however, you can change the colors.

Try this: Tools/Customize/Commands. From the Drawing category, look for
"Disassemble picture" (or something very similar). Drag it to the Drawing
toolbar. Close the dialog box. Click on a ClipArt, then use this tool.
