How to Insert pictures in Office 2013 and Office 2016 with Bing

Microsoft made it much easier to add images to your documents starting with Office 2013, by integrating Bing image search directly into the suite. That was a nice addition, but recently Microsoft’s Bing and Office teams got together to improve the overall Bing image search experience inside Office.

When you search for images with Office programs on the desktop you can now add filters for size, type, and color, as well as easily find out other information about the photo. Microsoft’s image insertion works with Excel, OneNote, Outlook, and Publisher in Office 2013 and 2016.
