As far as I can tell, there's no way to search the old clip art library - those sad, depreciated remnants from a bygone era are officially dead. The search tool will have the "show only images licensed under the Creative Commons" option enabled, so that all of the images returned by your search are free to use. Now, that online search tool is being replaced with Bing Images. It would seem that vectorized old-school brick cellphones, yin-yang symbols, and other low-fi line-art oddities aren't in keeping with Microsoft's new, modern aesthetic - and, whether you like it or not, if you use the Office suite, they're no longer part of your aesthetic either.įor the last few versions of Office (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.), you've been able to search a rather extensive collection of royalty-free clip art. In its place, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook will simply bring up a Bing Images search window. First it was Clippy - and now it's clip art: After 20 years as the preeminent way of sprucing up a lackluster Word or PowerPoint document, Microsoft has retired its Clip Art gallery.
