8/24/2019 Select All Pictures In Word
In a blank document, I insert images (screenshots - all are of same size and same format) from a folder. I want to resize the images to a desired size. All now I am doing is selecting one image by one, setting its size. Word does not seem to have multiselect working for images.
Ideally, I want to select multiple images set its size in one go with out use of a macro.
Here are the steps: Open the MS-Word document in which replacement is to be done. Insert the new image at the top of the document. Select the newly inserted image and press Ctrl + C to copy it. Now delete the newly inserted image. Press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace box. Put ^g in the Find what box and ^c in the Replace with box. Is it possible to 'select all' drawing objects at one time in Word 2000 (in order to move them together) rather than holding down the SHIFT key and selecting them individually? I need to add titles to the axes of a graph that's a picture embedded in a Word document.

You have multiple way to do this:
1- Try using a macro with the following code:
2- Resize all images to the same height and width:
a. Right click first image, open 'Size and Position' box (or open box from the Picture -> Format -> Size box. You need the size box, not just the height and width options in the tab, to disable the lock aspect ratio or this won't work)
b. Disable 'Lock Aspect Ratio' c. Change height and width to desired size d. Close box e. Click on next image and hit F4. Continue by clicking on sequential images and hitting F4 (For MAC use 'command - Y'). f. For large documents, use the vertical scroll bar on the right-hand side to move between images
3- Uniform aspect ratio for all imagesa. Right click first image, open 'Size and Position' box (or open box from the Picture -> Format -> Size box).
b. Change the aspect ratio % value c. Close box d. Click on the next image and hit F4. Note, the aspect ratio value wasn't changed to exactly the same value for all images, but was close (53 % instead of 50%) so the macro way is more precise
4- Or using third-party plugins for MS Word like KUTools

Set the way you use pictures from 'In Line With Text' to 'Top and Bottom'. Resize your 1st picture as desired In Format Pictures. Then select pictures one at a time and press F4. Not exactly instant but way better than trying to do them one at a time in the Format box.
The reformatting of IN LINE WITH TEXT to one of the other options is essential for the F4 to work.

If you want to resize multiple images in a MS Word document which was converted from a PDF document and the multiple images, which form the Word actually, are out of margins of pages of Word, here is the solution.
Sometimes the order is converse and you can drag them again. Maybe it is related to the operation of selecting images.

If you save your document as .docx, then you will be able to open it as zip-archive. There will be media folder with all images (mine had PNG images). You can then use programs like IrfanView, XnViewMP, FastStone Viewer to perform batch transformations like resize, reduce color depth, etc. Pack your images back into zip and rename it to docx.
For example, in my docx full of screenshots I needed to reduce number of colors to 8, which is enough for documentation purposes. After processing my 10MB doc became 1.8MB doc, so savings can be significant. Always save your original docx in case you want to restore pictures after too much degradation/processing etc.
For people who have issues with unzip/zip, here are the steps:
I use a tool called Total Commander which allows me go directly inside docx file (Ctrl-PgDn), then I unpack(copy) media folder to temp location, do my manipulation, and copy media files back using Total Commander.
Once you rename docx to zip you should be able to explore it using Windows File Explorer - the steps will be as with Total Commander - copy media folder outside to temp location, manipulate images, copy them back into zip.

All you have to do really is the following:
It will automatically resize.

As long as your pictures are not 'Inline with text', all you have to do is CTRL+Click on each one to select them, and then you can resize them individually with the selection handles.
Once they're selected, anything you do will affect all of them - size, set the text wrapping, outline color, fill color, toggle the Lock Aspect Ratio, any attribute really.

Word 2010 offers you many ways to mark text as a block in your document. After you select text in a Word document as a block, you can also deselect that block of text so that it’s no longer marked.
The secret to using the keyboard to select text is the Shift key.
If you don’t want to use the keyboard, just look to the computer mouse: You can mark text with the mouse by selecting vast swaths of words with a wide sweep of your hand, by clicking a number of times, or by using the old click-and-drag routine.
Dragging over Word 2010 text to select it
Here’s the most common way to select text by using the computer mouse:
You can use these steps to select any old block size in your document.
This selection technique works best when you use the mouse to drag over only the text you can see on the screen. When you try to select text beyond what you see on the screen, you have to select and scroll — which can be unwieldy; the mouse scrolls the text up and down quickly and, well, things get out of hand.
Selecting Word 2010 text by clicking the mouse
A speedy way to select specific sizes of chunks of text is to match the power of the mouse with the dexterity of your index finger. This table explains some clicking-and-selecting techniques worth noting.
Here’s the best way to select a chunk of text of any size, especially when that chunk of text is larger than what you can see on the screen at one time:
Using the F8 key to mark a block of text in Word
If you can remember that the F8 key on the computer’s keyboard can be used to mark text, you can exploit one of the most powerful but seldom used text-marking tools that Word has to offer.
Consider these steps the next time you need to mark a block of text:
To cancel the extended selection, press the Esc key. That action ends extended selection mode and keeps the block of text marked.
Blocking the whole Word document
The biggest block you can mark is an entire document. Word has a specific command to do it, to select all text in a document:
Deselecting a block of Word text
When you mark a block of text and change your mind, you must unmark, or deselect, the text. Here are a few handy ways to do it:
