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
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
