Hi Sarah

for just one or some icons I wouldn't recommend
a programmatic solution, maybe possible using
API functions, as discussed here,
at a time, when I knew much less than I know now, hopefully:

Once I did it this way.
Change the explorer settings to large icons,
select an icon, copy it,
paste it in let's say paintshop,
select the [W], copy it,
open Word's menu for adjusting toolbars Extras, etc.
paste it in an icon, edit the icon and adjust
it the best you can. Tedious, but in the end
I've found modifying or creating icons very rewarding.

As I got a german version of Word,
I can't guide you through all the menus and options, unfortunately.

And there may be copyright questions, too, by the way.

If you just want to use it on a command button, the built-in one is FaceId 42.

This will add a button with it to your standard toolbar:

With Application.CommandBars(1).Controls.Add
.FaceId = 42
End With
