Red Face "Clip Art" usage

Can I legally use downloadable computer "Clip Art" as a source of inspiration for my own illustrations of a book that I am writing. For example, in my book I need illustrations of 1 subject (like a chair) in 85 different styles.

I am NOT "cutting and pasting" clip art into my book. In order to assist me with the challenge of coming up with a variety of different hand drawn illustrations for one subject, I view "clip art" for ideas.

Micro soft clearly states in their legal contract (I have read it)-...Clip art my not be used for images in a book....

What do you think?

It is based on what the copyright says in the source material. Some permit it, some do not.
