Microsoft Clip Organizer

Microsoft Clip Organizer is the MS office’s clip art organizing software in order to find photographs, drawings, videos, sounds, and various other media clips with the publications, presentation and various other MS office documents. The Microsoft Clip Organizer, available from within Office XP applications, includes thou­sands of ready-made illustrations, photographs, sound files, and video clips to use in your presentations. You can search the Organizer by keyword or category- to find the right clip, import your own clips to the Organizer, categorize clips, or download clips from the Microsoft Design Gallery Live Web site.
