This is probably so late, like “so 2000-and-eight,” but I am just so giddy about the thought that I can MAKE MY OWN- as in PERSONALIZE MY ICONssss! (I made the one that says, “CHAPTER 3.”)
- Open WORD and make whatever design, paste picture, letters, etc., on the blank page.
- Save it as PDF.
- Then save it again from PDF to JPEG.
- Select the part of the JPEG file that you wish to be your icon, then COPY.
- Go to folder you wish to change into new icon, don’t open, just select then apple + i.
- Once that opens, go to the upper left-most corner where there’s a small icon of that folder, then click paste. That should change immediately it to your new icon.
