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 Insiders,

    Over the past year, some people have had issues adding icons, and private messages went with a workaround to the people that had posted. Since that might not be still practical, here's that workaround.

    It comes with the caveat that it may not work for everyone. It's Windows specific and uses Internet Explorer.

    It's something to try, but if it doesn't work, and you're on an Insider build, post a new message and we'll work on that.

    Try the following:

    1. Open Internet Explorer

    2. Select the Tools button (gear) in the top right hand corner and select "Internet Options"

    3. Go to the Advance tab

    4. Scroll down to Security and unselect "Do not save encrypted pages to disk"

    Is it any chance to replace stock .svg icons with custom ones?

    I can't find this feature but it will be very useful in enterprise.

    Please, make it happen!

    Thank you )

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