Bulk remove images
I have a moderate size document (750 pages) which was converted from PDF.
The original had a screened watermark which was replicated as multiple image files (3-5 per page) anchored to text paragraphs. Is there an easy way to locate, select, and delete these graphics (there are no other images) without affecting the text and without having to repeat the process 3000+ times to get every one? C. Newell |

If the images are in-line-with-text, you can remove them in one fell swoop
by doing a find/replace, with ^g as the Find what: and leaving Replace with: empty. The fact that you say they're anchored to paragraphs, however, doesn't make me optimistic. For floating images, if the document doesn't have formatting you want to preserve, you can copy the entire document to the clipboard (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C) and paste it as text into a new document. This will strip out all of the graphics. If you're using Word 2007 or Word 2010, for pasting as text, press Ctrl+Alt+V, and choose the Unformatted Text option. If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, use Edit - Paste Special. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "C.

They were, indeed inline and that did the trick.

If the find & replace ^g doesn't work (which is very cool), here is
another possibility. I just tested this on a singe page and it worked with an anchored picture. 1. Select all the text and convert to a table with one column. 2. Copy and paste the table into an Excel spreadsheet. (When I did this, it pasted the image, but the image was off to the right and not included in the single column.) 3. Copy the Excel column and paste back into Word. 4. Convert the table to text with paragraph divider. It worked on my test. Maybe it will work for you too. Paul Goddard On Apr 23, 12:10*pm, "C.

For InLineWithText graphics, as Doug mentions, you can use ^g in the find and
replace with nothing. For Floating graphics, you can use the Select Multiple Objects icon, arrow over two squares. This icon is not shown by default but can be found in the Drawing Commands listing under Customize dialog. This function lists all objects, drawings, Text boxes, etc., and has a Select All button. If you press the Select All, then OK, and without doing anything else, press Delete keyboard key, all objects will be deleted. I would work on a copy of the document, just in case :-) Hope this helps DeanH "C. Newell" wrote: I have a moderate size document (750 pages) which was converted from PDF.
