How do I export a clipart object from Draw to Microsoft Office?

If you want to save a clipart built in Draw in order to integrate it in a Microsoft Office document, follow these steps:

1. right click on the object and select in context menu Convert ▸ To Metafile;
2. select menu File ▸ Export;
3. check Selection checkbox;
4. in dropdown list File format, select WMF - Windows Metafile;
5. enter a file name;
6. validate with Save.

You will get a .WMF file, which you could open or paste in your MS Office document.

NB: This procedure deals only with vector cliparts and only on Windows OS. It cannot work with bitmap picture.
