NEW! Insert Icons in Office 2016

Anonymous

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

Click Insert > Icons.
From the Insert Icon dialog box, search for an icon, or browse by category.
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

In an ideal world, yes applications on all platforms would be equal. But in the real world that doesn't happen.
- Simple reality, all OS's do NOT support all of the same features
- For a long time, Mac/Apple has been a Major competitor to MS, so although MS sold Mac versions of Office, they never were in a hurry to keep them equal.
On the plus side, just this past January, MS announced that they had finally merged the mac version on to the same "base" code as the Windows version. They still have to migrate some features to Mac, but going forward it will be easier to keep the 2 platforms equal. There still will be OS limits.

This still doesn't seem to be available on Mac.

I got Office 365 on Mac. Version 16.12 (180410)

We are paying the same amount for the Office, regardless of platform - and so I expect features to be available across all platforms.

Hi Peter,

Would you be willing to share the plugin? This feature would be a huge upgrade for me and my company.

Thanks,

I have the latest version of 365 and the Icon "icon" is not there. Please explain. I just updated Word within the past few days.

I have seen reports that in January MS had succeeded in merging the underlying code for Mac and PC versions of Word. So, in theory, MS should be able to deliver identical features to both PC and Mac versions at the same time.

Since this is a "missing" / "new feature" problem, you should submit it to MS via the Feedback system
