I have a word document with 1500 instances of the same picture. I need to
replace all 1500 with a new picture that is the exact same. Is there a
global way to do this replacement?

There is a feature in Find - More - Special to find graphic objects, but
cannot be used for replace. AFAIK, that would have to be handled through a
macro or VBA procedure.

LOL |:)

ken,

Are other pictures (graphics) in the document? If so, this could be
difficult. If not, it is a cinch.

Paste your new picture anywhere in the document and then selected in a press
CTRL+c (copies it to the clipboard)

With EditReplace

Type ^g in the find what field (looks for a graphic)
Type ^c in the replace with field (the content of the clipboard
Click replace all and Bob's your uncle.

Not to mention that if the graphic is linked, you can display the field code
(Alt+F9) and replace the old path with the new one.
