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 "John Gregory" wrote: I frequently have to insert multiple images into a document, and they are usually different sizes.

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? "PJY" wrote: Hint - you have to keep holding Ctrl+Shift while selecting each picture "John Gregory" wrote: I am not able to select multiple pictures.

If the images are floating (ie not set with the InLineWithText) the you can
use the Select Multiple Objects (the icon is found on the Drawing Toolbar under Customize). Beware this may select objects you don't want to change, so tread carefully - maybe work on a copy of the document. If the Images are InLineWith then the following macro will change all in one click. Sub ResizePictureWidth() ' Macro to Resize ALL pictures in the document Dim inshpPower As InlineShape Dim sngOldWidth As Single Const sngNewWidth As Single = 13.5 With ActiveDocument If .InlineShapes.Count 0 Then For Each inshpPower In .InlineShapes With inshpPower sngOldWidth = .Width .Width = CentimetersToPoints(sngNewWidth) .Height = CentimetersToPoints(((.Height * sngNewWidth) / sngOldWidth)) End With Next Else MsgBox "There are no shapes in this document.", _ vbExclamation, "Cancelled" End If End With End Sub This macro is set for 13.5cm, so you may need to change this for your needs and units. see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm for help with macros. You don't say want Word version you are using, the above is mainly for 2003 and prior but will indicate were to go with 2007.

You are welcome,
I got the macro initally from someone on this site, cannot remember who - age-onset-moment ;-) and tinkered with it to its present state. Glad it works for you.
