Default Resize Multiple Imgaes

I frequently have to insert multiple images into a document, and they are
usually different sizes.

Is there an easy way to select all of the images and resize them at one time
in place of resizing each image individually?

Yes, click on just one of the images, then holding Ctrl and Shift down at the
same time, select the other images, then right click and you will see the
option for format picture, select the size you desire, OK and you're done

Default Resize Multiple Imgaes

I am not able to select multiple pictures. If I try using CTRL or
CTRL+SHIFT, it only selects one picture at a time - the last one I click on.
If I drag to select multiple, or select holding down SHIFT, then the format
picture editing menu is not available.

Any other ideas?

Hint - you have to keep holding Ctrl+Shift while selecting each picture

Yes, that is exactly what I did. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to
be turned on of off for that to work?

Thumbs up Answer: Resize Multiple Imgaes

Yes, there is an easy way to resize multiple images at once in Microsoft Word. Here are the steps:
  1. Select all the images you want to resize by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on each image.
  2. Once all the images are selected, click on the Format tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. In the Format tab, click on the Picture Tools option, which will open up a new set of tabs.
  4. Click on the Format tab under Picture Tools, and then click on the Size dropdown menu.
  5. From the Size dropdown menu, select the desired size for your images. You can choose from predefined sizes or enter a custom size.
  6. Once you have selected the desired size, all of the selected images will be resized to that size.
  7. If you want to adjust the size of individual images, you can do so by selecting the image and using the sizing handles to resize it.

That's it! With these simple steps, you can quickly resize multiple images at once in Microsoft Word.
