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 a subscription to Office 365 on my Mac. And I believe I am in the insiders club. These icons are not showing on my ribbon. Where do I go to add it to my ribbon? How specifically do I go about updating and adding this feature?

    Thanks.

    how to display icons menu ..

    There is no icons menu.  Click on the Insert tab, and next to Pictures and Shapes there should also be an Icons button.

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