I have Word 2007, but just got a new computer and now my Insert Clip Art button doesn't go any where. I followed the directions above:
Office, Word Options, Advanced, show document content, picture placeholders NOT selected, Show drawings and text boxes on screen. clicked on OK. Nothing different. Still nothing comes up when I select Insert clip Art.

For those who all updated your office software to 2013 or 2016 versions, you don't need a Clip Art Gallery. Office has built in way to download clipart online. For more info step by step guide here: https://wp.me/p7QQWB-2u8
