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

    I get the feeling we are on our own with this one.  I also am sensing this was not anticipated, so maybe we just lose the Insert Icons and that's the end of that :-(  Just reminds me why I hate losing control of my software features!

    When I go to my Outlook, I go to File, Office Account, then I see what version I have.  So Product Information, version 1708, Build 8431.2153.  We opened up a PC that had not received the latest round of Office updates, and that version was 2213, and it had the Insert Icons available.  So the last update, whether intentional or not, hosed that option.

    I hope that helps you troubleshoot a bit?  We can't resolve it past that, so either Microsoft fixes the issue, or we just no longer have that option available to us.

    Thanks, but I'm not sure what that means, or what I am to do with that piece of information.  Please help.
