When trying to create a professional and solid piece of business communications, whether it be a document, PowerPoint presentation, or otherwise; a common complaint is finding attractive and pertinent artwork.
iStockPhoto has a resource available for people who are seeking low-resolution images and illustrations through Microsoft’s Office Online service. There are many images already for use, and iStock photo is adding to the free library available.
If you are looking for more high-resolution photos, they are available for a nominal fee directly from iStockPhoto. To check out the free library of photos available, head over to Office Online and start browsing.
How do you spice up your presentations and documents? We look forward to tips in the comments section.

Web Work 101: How To Escape The Cubicle
Flickr can be a great source of free photography, just be make sure to pay attention and only use photos licensed via Creative Commons that allow use with attribution.
I am actually a fan of the SXC.HU and StockExchange suites. SXC is all royalty free. A very small percentage of the photos require notifying or requesting permission first.
I used iStockPhoto for a long time. The problem I had was that their credits expire. So if you buy 50.00 worth of credits, you have one year to use them. If you don’t, you lose them! Not how I like to do business.
Another great one is Fotolia.com although I have to admit that iStock have a stronger mind share in the market :-)
