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

    Hi Gerry,

    I'm sorry you're running into this error. I spoke to Constance, and she said they're aware of the issue and investigating.

    Curious - does it happen consistently? For instance, are you still having trouble today?

    By the way, the team was interested to hear how you're using the icons to create maps for the NGOs. It always helps us to hear about real-world customer scenarios. Thanks for sharing that.

    Any resolution on this topic? I've been encountering the same issue for months - our IT came to investigate but wasn't not able to find a solution.

    Is it any chance to replace stock .svg icons with custom ones?

    I can't find this feature but it will be very useful in enterprise.

    Please, make it happen!

    Thank you )

    Hi Sebastian-

    Did you ever get a solution to this issue from Anneliese?  This feature used to work until a windows update in Feb and now I cannot access the icons feature (really irritating).  Tried the other tips on the thread, but no joy.

    Thanks, Gill

    Hi Janson,

    Sorry for the confusion. You are correct, Icons did not yet meet the quality bar and stabilization period for the Deferred Channel. Features tend to take a while to get release through the Deferred Channel as they need some time to stabilize.

    Thanks!

    Constance
