iStockphoto will extend a year-old program that makes a collection of low-resolution images and illustrations available free of additional charge to Microsoft Office users through Microsoft Office Online. Based on the initial success of the program, iStockphoto will significantly increase the number of free images to the collection. In addition, the companies are looking to expand the program to new languages and countries in the coming year.

Microsoft Office Online offers how-to articles, tips, training courses, templates, clip art and media, downloads and other productivity-enhancing tools for all Microsoft Office programs. Users can access the clip art directly from office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/ or by navigating to the site from within Microsoft Office software. There they will find a diverse collection of images from iStockphoto and a number of other sources that can be searched and downloaded at no cost. With just a few clicks of the mouse, users can add punch and professionalism to documents and presentations.
