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

    If I have custom SVG-icons, is there any way to include them in the gallery of this functionality?

    For example, where I work, we have a gallery of 100 customized icons for the business and / or logos in SVG format. Can we include these icons in the gallery to be used in this functionality?

    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.

    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.

    Graphics team:

    Please update this posting. It does not matter what version/build number a 2016 one-time payment license holder has, they will never see the feature! It is another "new feature" that is limited to Office 365 subscriptions as a way to blackmail users to switch to 365.
