The document is long. It's tiring and time comsuming to hold Ctrl and select
graphics and other objects one by one. I only want to keep plain text. There
has to be a way of selecting all objects other than text all at once, hasn't
it? Thank you for helping me out. Waiting for answer online...

If it were me, I'd hit Ctrl+H.
Type ^g into the find what box.
Don't put anything in the replace with box.
Hit Replace all.
That replaces all your graphics with nothing....provided they're placed in
line with text, anyway...

Open the document, click on File | Save as, choose "Plain text"
in the "Files of type" box, and save to different filename. When
you save as a plain text file, Word will automatically strip out
all of the graphics, objects, and text formatting, leaving you
with just plain text.
