The feature of inserting images into Word has been present since the early versions, and even in inserting images into Word 2016, it remains unchanged. Although there haven't been many changes, it's still a basic feature that users often use to make their documents more lively.
To add images to Word 2016, we have two options: using images already on the computer or searching for images online. Using local resources for inserting images into Word has been familiar in previous versions. As for searching for images online, although it's convenient, it hasn't received much response from users due to the limited search tool, which only supports Bing and OneDrive instead of the popular Google tool. Nevertheless, this tool is still worth using, and depending on users' needs, they can choose to insert images into Word 2016 using images from their computers or online.
