How to Copy an Icon Into Word Office 2007
1. Open a new or existing Word document in which you want to insert the icon.
2. Open Windows Explorer. Click the 'Start' button and click 'My Computer' from the Start menu. A My Computer folder opens; from here, navigate to the folder that contains the shortcut, document or program file.
3. Right-click on the program or document and select 'Copy' from the resulting menu.
4. Return to your Word document. On the 'Home' tab in the Clipboard group, click the 'Paste' text beneath the clipboard icon. Click 'Paste Special...' from the resulting menu. The Paste Special dialog box appears.
5. Select how to display the file represented by the icon. You can embed the file in the document, making a copy of the file that is a part of the document, by choosing the 'Paste' radio button and selecting 'Files' from the scrolling menu. Alternatively, you can create a link to the document by clicking 'Paste link' and selecting 'Files.' Linked items will not work properly unless they remain in their original locations with their original titles; if the document containing links moves to another computer, linked items must be in the same location on that computer to work correctly. (See Reference 1) However, you can update the link to reflect location or name changes of the linked document.
6. Click the box labeled 'Display as icon' to the right of the scrolling menu. A preview of the icon and its caption appear below 'Display as icon.' To change the icon or the title, click the 'Change Icon' button to open the Change Icon dialog box. Make the necessary changes, click 'OK' and click 'OK' again in the Paste Special dialog box.
