Using the old 2010 Microsoft Office Clipart in 2013 and Beyond

5/28/2017

I miss the easy clipart of Office 2010.

I am not a fan of the lack of clipart in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 and 2016.  I like the easy access to online images, but I am concerned about violating copyrights and I don't want to feel like I am always connected online.  


Also, teachers know that students can not always have online access.  Clipart ensured that students would find appropriate images even when the wifi wasn't working at school.

My current project is moving the old clipart from 2010 to my new computer.
​

Where are the Microsoft Word and PowerPoint Clipart files stored???

First, I went to the C: Program Files > Microsoft Office > Media > CAGCAT10 files.

​The files have names like J0149407.wmf - Windows Meta Files.  When I open them, they look like clipart.

​Then there is a folder called 1033 and in it is a CAGCAT10  Media Catalog File.  It gives me a warning if I try to open it.

I saved the files to the SD card that I left in this old Windows 7 computer before I closed it years ago, and put it in my current computer.  I can import them into Word as just a regular picture, but there isn't the clipart option to search for them, so I am going to have to put them into categories or something. 

Another day of adventures with computers.
