Note that theViewRuler button is now the last button on your QAT.

Lesson 88:

Clip Art replaced by Online Pictures

This Web-based feature is controlled by Microsoft and is dynamic. Presently Word uses Microsoft’s Bing search engine to populate the search results with pictures related to the search keywords. There is no longer a choice specifically for clip art, although clip art will be included in the search results. Copyright is now an issue since the entire Internet is being searched. See Lesson 88 in the Word Manual for details.
