Office 2007 Icons

Mike

I am wanting to use the Office 2007 icons within a Visio drawing but cannot
find where they are. Can someone please point me in the right direction on
acquiring these icons. They used to be easily found in older version of
office - but I cannot find them in 2007.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello thanks for the info below. I'm simply just trying to use them within a
Visio Drawing to hand out to those in IT interally. Is there anything wrong
with that?

Since it's a technical violation of your license terms, yes, there is
something wrong with that, legally speaking.

Mike, In some instances the icons are permitted to be used.
Microsoft Product Icons
Microsoft product icons are the thumbnail-size images indicating that a
Microsoft product has been installed on your operating system. Use of Microsoft
icons is permissible in training manuals or documentation written for and/or
about a Microsoft product. In such cases, use of Microsoft icons must be
specific to the function of the icon within the Microsoft software, and the icon
may not be used as a graphical element or design for your own purposes. Further,
icons cannot be modified or altered and must appear as they would within the
Microsoft software.

Thank you Mary.

For what I was wanting to use it for - just an internal document to 5 people
- it's not worth the worry about the legality of using the icons. :)

I just scrapped the whole document/idea.
