MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Powerpoint and the sale of creations
I'm an educator (public. non-profit school) and we're considering moving our school yearbook to a digital format in the near future. Our questions are simply this: is it legal for us to sell a yearbook created using PowerPoint? And if so--may we use clipart offered by Microsoft, or do we need to find other copyright-free clipart? We're aware that there ar professional "scrapbook" programs out there that allow for the commercial sale of work created through them--but we just really like the versitality and ease of use offered with PowerPoint. Hi, You can create presentations for sale if you have a legal copy of PowerPoint. Clip art is different. There is a EULA (End User License Agreement) that you need to read carefully: Now, if MS search worked, I'd find a link to it. But maybe try to download a PowerPoint template from Office Online and you will get the annoying EULA pop up.

Glen - the 'search' function on the microsoft site really is BAD. See http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/permissions//default.mspx#E4 Clip Art The Microsoft Clip Art Gallery provides a compilation of artwork for your personal use. Microsoft licenses some of the artwork from third parties and therefore cannot grant permission for you to redistribute the artwork. For more information on the terms of use, refer to the End User License Agreement (EULA) that accompanied the product from which you obtained the clip art. If you obtained the artwork from Office Online, you can find the EULA at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX100667421033.aspx.
