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

    What icons menu?

    If you are not considered a second class customer and splurged on Office 365 (it has not been added to one-time payment licenses) you can go to the Insert tab > Illustration group > and click on the new Icon button to see the dialog pictured in the original posting.

    I would like an update on when Icons will be available to Mac users, please.

    Please refer to the Microsoft statement "MacBooks are popular amongst key influencers and decision makers" from  https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/16/16481190/microsoft-outlook-windows-mac-redesign-features
