I want to know if I can publish Microsoft clipart on my webpage and
post it on the internet without any problems. If not, do I need to
buy it from them or get written permission?

I don't think it is wise. I recently learned of a situation where a local
learning institution was making up a brochure for a fund raiser and used a
photo from the ones provided on the MSOffice disks. Shortly after the
brochure was sent out, they recieved a call from the lawyers of a national
corporation based here. Seems that the photo the learning institution pulled
from the MSOffice disk was from a print ad for the national corporation and
was copyrighted for their own use.
