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,

    I have the same issue as mmjdallas, Icons option has gone from Excel and Word, but still in PowerPoint.  I have tried to customize the ribbon but I cannot find in the list of commands.  I'm using a WIN7 Pro x64 machine with Office 2016 via an Office365 corporate licence, if any of that helps?

    Thanks

    I agree, this is very odd. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. I've messaged you privately to see what we can on solving this for you.

    It actually doesn't matter as it's on all the machines I've logged into.  Office 365 and Outlook 2016.  At home my work laptop recently got updates over the weekend, so did all of our onsite PCs.  They have all lost the Icons in the Outlook message.  If you go to create a new message, in the body, then go to Insert...the Icons are no longer there.  While as government we opted for the later release of updates, it seems a bit odd that it would disappear from just Outlook.

    Hello!

    This shouldn't have occurred. Do you know which version of Office you are running?

    Thanks!

    Constance

    Come on Microsoft, what did you decide to change now?  The Insert Icons is gone, disappeared in the latest round of updates...what gives?
