Disable Insert Online Pictures in Word

[SimonWindisch]

Hi there

 

I've been searching for this, and couldn't find the answer stated directly, so I thought it would be helpful to spell it out here, for others to find...

 

In Word there is a button to insert online images, it does a Bing image search within Word.

 

Some of these results are not child-safe, and there might be a requirement to disable this button

 

This can be done by Group Policy (GPO)

 

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Word 2016 -> Disable Items in User Interface -> Custom -> Disable Commands

 

Set this to Enabled and add an ID value of 20868 (otherwise known as ClipArtInsertDialog (I know!!!))

 

Users linked to this Group Policy will have the "Online Pictures" button greyed out.

 

You will need the Administrative Template files for Office 2016/9 to see this GPO setting

 

This also works in Word 2019 (with the Office 2016 GPO template)

Also works for Word 2013, Excel 2013, PowerPoint 2013 and Publisher 2013.

Where did you find the list?

 

Is this the correct one?

It works for me within excel, but only for the option 'place over cells' not for 'place in cells'. Is the last one a different ID?
