When Microsoft pulled the plug on the Clip Art feature it used to make available in Microsoft Word, it took away a healthy collection of star images. However, there are still multiple ways to insert the image of a star in your Microsoft Word document. One option is to use the star symbol that Microsoft makes available with the Wingdings 2 font. Another option is to copy a star image you find on the Internet and paste it into your document, or to take a star image that you have saved on your computer and insert it.
