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.

    I'm also having the same problems - is there something we should do?  Any patches to download?

    Hi there,

    Curious what, if any, limitations for sharing / use is on these. Are we allowed to use these within promotional materials? I can't seem to find legalities and we're always cautious when using work that is not our own.

    Thanks - they are very cool. I'm hopeful to use them to add in some fun to our projects / promotions / content.

    Cheers.

    Hi, 

    Please can you let me know if I need to attribute the image source when using these microsoft icons in creating presentations for the public domain? such as a copyright attribution? Image source: ©

    Thank you!
