Hi JoAnn - This is not clip art - it is on a brochure provided by a third
party on the microsoft site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC102579951033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101043031033&av=ZWD000

It doesnt make sense to post a business brochure for personal use though !!

The images on the brochure are covered by that though.

Bear in mind, I didn't write the rules - I only posted the link. I'm not the
copyright police nor an MS employee.
