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

    Turns out what they don't tell you is that if you have Office 2016 on your Mac, you don't have the luxury of using this awesome feature. I had it when I initially installed Office 365 to my Mac and it was amazing! I did an update and then they were all gone. I would LOVE to have this option back for Mac users as I, and I'm sure many others have the same system.

    Hi Sebastian, try the following procedure . . . it worked for me. I couldn't wait for the solution coming from Microsoft so I did my own research online and found this solution.

    "Be careful while dealing with registry entries"

    Open the Registry Editor (type "regedit" on the search or run bar)

    Go to:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / User Shell Folders / History

    Double click on History and copy the string on the Value Data field (should be something like this: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History); close and then double click on Cache and paste it in the same field.

    Hopefully works for you too...let me know.

    I know . . .unfortunately we cannot get the "humid" part out of the "sunny"; but for this Miami resident feels like home!! (LOL)

    Looking forward to a solution ASAP; I appreciate your efforts.
