Some students have typed in some pretty nasty search keywords in the clipart
search tool. Is there anyway to delete these words from the "history" or
memory of the search tool?

On my system only the last search key is saved and it is found in the Registry
at
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1078081533-1844237615-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Clip
Organizer\Search\Last Query

If you just do another search on "anything", the value in LastSearchText should
change to whatever you used for "anything" and that is what will be displayed in
PowerPoint when you go to Insert > Picture > Clipart.

Using the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Clip Organizer\Search\Last
Query
LastSearchText

Delete the LastSearchText key.

Thanks, Shyam. I seem to have overshot that one in my search. Clearing the one
you listed seems to clear the other one and vice versa.
