Icons in Word

Learning Objectives

  • Create a Word document with inserted icon.

There is one more thing Rosamine wishes to incorporate into her document—a final icon.

Rosamine’s GM has a good sense of humor, so Rosamine chooses a different icon to end with in each of her reports. This time she wants a little piggy bank icon. To do this, she puts her cursor where she wants the icon to go, clicks on the Insert tab, and selects the Icon button. After scrolling down, she finds the piggy bank icon, selects it, and clicks the Insert button.

A Microsoft Word document is open with a sales report displayed. There are two green arrows displayed, one is pointing at the insert tab in the ribbon menu and the other is pointing at the icon dropdown menu.

The little piggy is now in the document but needs a bit of adjusting. Like she can with the table and chart, Rosamine can drag the little image circle boarder to make the icon smaller. She also selects the button to have the icon move behind the text.
