• I am grateful to a random spammer (that must be a first) for bringing an old post by Gary Priester to the top of the Photography forum. If you also missed it at the time, check out this incredibly detailed macro photography by Colossal. Great find Gary! If you know a photography site with the WOW factor then why not share it with us in the Photography forum.

Icons & Symbols
There's more to the icons and symbols than you might imagine. Position your caret in the text and insert a symbol (Insert > Symbol) and it will be treated as a font but add one elsewhere and it becomes a fully editable vector shape.

They are great for web buttons - think Facebook or Twitter or other social media buttons - especially if you make them stick to the top of the page or scroll and stick with our new sticky feature. You can also use them with Auto Correction eg typing euro could be set to expand to € (there's a symbol picker in the auto correction dialog to make it easy).

In 365 we've added a search feature and a set of Material Design icons, making over 1500 symbols and icons in total.
