You can change the color of most clip art - as a whole or individual parts.
In either Publisher or PowerPoint, I copy the picture of the children
playing. Then I go up to Arrange (or in Draw toolbar) and I click ungroup.
A dialoge box comes up to warn you about something and you click okay or
yes...then you will see the picture converted to a number of individual
objects, with the group icon somewhere off the side. Un group that and the
objects become a number of individual drawings. I usually magnify to 400%
and then go in and change hair color, skin color etc. Then re-group...or
use the select tool and draw a box around the entire clip art and re-group
that way. You can also eliminate portions of the clip art...I often find the
perfect clip art, but there is a bottle of wine say, that I don't want in
there for little kids, so I ungroup, and delete the series of components
which make up the wine bottle, and viola! it's gone. Depending on how the
original artist made up the work...it could be very simple or very
complex...but I have always found it very enjoyable to customize clip art in
this way.
Make clip art look original in Publisher (In most any Office product)
