Legal use of Microsoft Office Online clip art

Baha

Am I legally allowed to use the Microsoft Office Online clip art and photos
to build business presentation and images on my web site?

I was told that as long as I DO NOT SELL THEM I am OK. Can you please
confirm this?

Thanks a lot.

IS IT LEGAL TO USE MS OFFICE CLIP ART IN A POWERPOINT BUSINESS PRESENTATION
AND HANDOUT NOTES THAT ACCOMPANY SUCH PRESENTATION.

I just read some text that is posted at
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/permissions/default.mspx#E4

It says that:

Clip Art
The Microsoft Clip Art Gallery provides a compilation of artwork for your
personal use. The following guidelines apply to your personal use of clip
art:
1. You may use clip art in your school assignments and projects.
2. You may use clip art in your church brochure.
3. You may use clip art for personal, noncommercial uses.
4. You may not use clip art to advertise your business.
5. You may not use clip art to create a company logo.
6. You may not use clip art to illustrate the chapters of a book.

No - It states "personal and non-commercial use". A business presentation is
not personal or non-commercial.

Thanks JoAnn:

How about the Media Content that I got on the Office XP Media Content CD or
that ships in the Other office CD.

Can I use this in Business Presentations?.
