2. Select the icon that you want and click Insert. You can select more than one icon.

3. After you place it in the slide when you’re clicked on it, you’ll see the Graphics Format tab in the ribbon because icon is an object. This means you can edit any elements of this particular icon.

4. To change the icon color, go to Graphics Fill and select another color from the palette, or you can use the eyedropper tool.

5. But what if you want to change the color of an element in that icon? For example, you want to change the arrow color to red, but the rest is still blue. Go to the Graphic Format tab, and click Convert to Shape.
