You can’t change the file directly from WORD. One way of doing it would be to copy the clip art and paste it onto a picture program such as PAINT. There you can edit anything to your liking. Then, under File, you go to Save As, and under file name you make sure the file type is set to JPEG instead of Bitmap.

1, In WORD, select the clip art. It should get “selected” with black borders al around it. Right click –> Copy.
2. Click Start –> Run. Type “mspaint”. Click OK, paint runs.
3. In paint, click menu item “Image”. Click sub menu “Attributes…”. In the dialog that comes up, provide a width and height that is very small compared to the picture of the clip art. For example, I provide the values 5 and 5 always. When you OK out, the white rectangle representing your picture area is very small. That is the idea – so that you can paste whatever you want, and the picture size will be exactly equal to the image size.
4. Ctrl+V (or Edit –> Paste).
5. File –> Save As. Choose your favorite format (JPG/ BMP/ etc.).
You are done.
