We recently upgraded from 2003 to 2007. In 2003, when I wanted to add clip
art, I'd get an automatic link to microsoft clipart online. Now, with 2007,
that auto link is gone. How do I get it back?
It takes entirely too long to add clip art to my projects now.

When you Insert, Clipart, what happens? Does the Organizer open? There is a link
on the bottom of the the task pane that says Clip art on Office Online, what
happens when you click on the link?

Hi Mary - when I insert, clipart the organizer opens on the right but the
link for office online does NOT appear like it used to in 2003. Did we miss
that option when we uploaded 2007?

Are you using a trial version of Office? You can use the Organizer as a
standalone on your desktop or Quick Launch toolbar. Start, Microsoft Office
Tools, drag the Organizer icon to the desktop, click create shortcut here.

No, it's not a trial version. I get the organizer to open up but like I
said, when you type in (for example) "sunshine", it will not automatically go
and look in microsoft online. I literally have to go out to the internet and
try to find my way around the new microsoft web page (which is not user
friendly), find clip art, pin it to a clip board then go back to my excel
spreadsheet or word document and then (whew) paste it.

In 2003, all you had to do was type in the word "sunshine" and there were
like 60 pictures that automatically popped up. You could double click on
them and 'viola', it would paste right where you told it to.

Okay, I found this article, sounds more like the problem you are experiencing.
You may not be able to use the Clip Organizer to view Web Collections when you
run an Office program
