Hi Insiders,

My name is Constance, and I’m a program manager on the Office Graphics team. We're excited to announce the availability of a new collection of icons. Browse through more than 500 icons to find one that suits your purpose, and then edit its fill and outline to match a theme.

Check it out!

Availability

If you receive builds of Office 2016 for Windows through the Office Insiders Slow or Fast level, you can now add icons into any Word document, Excel workbook, PowerPoint presentation or Outlook email.

Get started

In any app, click Insert > Icons:

Scenarios to try

Insert icons

  1. Click Insert > Icons.
  2. From the Insert Icon dialog box, search for an icon, or browse by category.
  3. Insert the icon into your document, presentation, workbook, or e-mail message.

Edit Icons

  • After you insert an icon, use the formatting options on the Graphics Tools tab to change the icon’s fill or outline, or to add a visual effect such as glow or shadow. 

Let us know what you think!

Thanks,

The Office Graphics Team

    Hey Insiders -  

    By the way, if you're doing anything interesting with the new icons in your slides or documents, feel free to share screen shots here. This is one of those features where sharing examples can help others envision the possibilities. I've been playing around with the icons myself recently; you can do some pretty cool stuff.

    Have fun!

    I keep receiving the following error while trying to insert an icon or any picture into a Word 2016 document.

    I am running Windows 10 64 bit on a PC.Please help, I am helping an NGO in Cambodia and this feature is very helpful to create some maps for the villages we are helping.

    Thank you, Gerry
