MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007Use of Microsoft clip art on my website.
Can anyone confirm with certainty if it is ok to use photo clip art on website that is drawn from Microsoft's Office Online? My website is for my own for-profit company, but I'm building the website myself. Can I use the photos that I typically download for my PowerPoint presentations in my website as well. If so, how should I give credit? Is it necessary to give credit? Thanks, Bob Robert, As far as I know you can use the clipart, providing you do not integrate it in a logo or use it on all sorts of promotional material like T-shirts and the like. As long as you do not sell them. See here for some further info: http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/permissions/default.mspx#E4 Of course to be on the safe side you could also contact Microsoft directly.

I followed the link and it says I can use clip art for personal noncommercial use, but of course it is used in commercial presentations every day by the millions of companies that use MS Office. It says I can't use it in advertising, but it doesn't say if I can use it in a website. You suggested I contact Microsoft. It's a big company and not easy to talk to real human beings. Do you have any idea who & how to contact?

Do you have any idea who & how to contact? As you've probably noticed, if you follow the links on the page Luc sent you to, you end up in a loop if you try to find a way to contact MS. Frustrating. It might be simpler just to delete the MS-supplied content and purchase a clip art collection that clearly specifies what usage rights you do and don't have, or at least that provides a way of contacting someone for permission. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, You make a good point.
