I we allowed to use microsoft clipart on the web?

I we allowed to use Micorsoft clippart on the internet. I’ve got some nice images from just going in to powerpoint - can I use them on my site?

In theory, no - Everything created by microsoft is copyright. You could contact them and get their permission though,

Having said that - I’ve seen thousands of sites over the years that have blatantly used microsoft clip-art images !

Microsoft aren’t really that bothered about people using their clip-art - so I say go ahead and use it if you want to. The worst that could happen is someone spots it and ask you to remove it !
