Do you still have MS loaded on any box?

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to scavenge the clipart from your MS
box, and add it to the OpenOffice gallery.

Just open the gallery under OO Writer (or any other OO app) and click on
"new theme." This will allow you to create a new theme and add files to
it. Those files could be the bitmap files you scavenged from your MS
box. Assuming that your MS program was legally purchased, etc, I
wouldn't want to advocate anything illegal.
