Removing graphic icon in word document
Hi,
Im pasting some text (containing links etc) from a web-page to a word document. It also pastes some graphic (yellow background with paper scroll like sign) on to my word document. This graphic is not visible in the web- page itself. When I right click on this grahic it offers Cut, copy, Paste and View Script I want to select all graphic at one go and delete from my doc. a) How to do it in word? b) Why are they coming in the first place c) When I encounter such issue while pasting in excel, I use F5 -- Special -- Objects and it selects all graphic at one go for subsequent deletion. Is there no shortcut in word to select same type object etc? Please guide me (Word pro 2003) hp |

Removing graphic icon in word document
Hi Hari
There's no easy way to select all graphics in a Word document at once, as one can in Excel. The little yellow things are an indication that there was script in the website at the point where the yellow scroll thing now appears. The script may have been creating part of the content on the page, or manipulating menus or doing other fancy stuff. If you only want the text from the web site, then use Edit Paste Special and choose to paste as unformatted text. That will paste only the text of the web page, and you won't see the yellow icon things. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Removing graphic icon in word document
What you're seeing isn't really "in" the document at all. It's the Paste
Options button. Some find it useful, others find it annoying. As you're in the latter camp (apparently, as am I), choose Tools - Options - Edit tab, and remove the check next to "Show Paste Options buttons". If you're using Word 2007, look in Office - Word Options - Advanced tab - Cut, Copy, and Paste section. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Hari" wrote in message ups.com...

Actually I have some other graphic/ icons etc which are visible in the web-page and I need those in the word document. So I cannot do a unformmated paste as I will lose the valid graphics as well. Is there a macro way to select (and delete) specifically the "script" kind of a graphic. If the type of this graphic is known then one can probably loop through the entire doc (what is the function for counting the number of graphics in a word doc), select each one of them in turn and check whether the type corresponds to the one I dont want and delete it. I selected the graphic and clicked on the control tool-box properties but it seems to display the properties for entire document and not for this particular script graphic? Im asking this because many times I copy-paste stuff from web to word and would like to have the ability to remove them quickly (possibly macro) hp |

Removing graphic icon in word document
Sorry it won't work better for you, but your requirement is rather unique.
As I understand the situation it would be very difficult to come up with an effective means of automating due to the variability involved. Even the techniques offered at this link won't do you much good for the graphics, but may come in handy if you're not already familiar with them: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm The only other suggestion I can offer is to use the Browse Objects feature (bottom of the Vertical Scrollbar). Click the round button between the 2 sets of arrows, select By Graphic, then use the arrows to navigate one graphic at a time through the doc. You'll still have to click the in-lines to select & delete them (or press Delete twice) but at least it will speed things up a little rather than having to manually scroll & search.

Btw, I right-click on my yellow scroll object and one of the options it gives me is "View Script" and by choosing it takes me to Microsoft Script editor. I thought of getting rid of this by deleting all code in this editor but it ends up clearing up my document as well! hp |

Do you have other graphics in the file? If not, and you want to zap all of
the script graphics at once, try this: Ctrl+H Find what:^g Replace withleave blank) Replace all Or, if you have graphics you want to keep, click Find Next or Replace as needed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Hari" wrote in message oups.com...
