  • Word 2010. How to select all picutres inserted in a document? I need to add border to each image but failed to locate all images at once.

    Any help will be appreciated.

Answers

  • Well you can’t select them at once, but you can find them.
    Using CTRL-F, you can search for ^g, this will give you all pictures as a result.

    Simple click the result, and you can make the preferred changes to the picture.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hi Daniel,

    Agree with AntoonBouw that it may not supported to select all images in a document at once. 

    I followed the instructions provided by AntoonBouw and it worked great. Additionally, you may consider adding the Picture Border option to Quick Access Toolbar so that it can more convenient:

    Select a image, go to Picture Tools, right click Picture Borders, click Add to Quick Access Toolbar, so that you can quickly add border by clicking the button on the QAT:

  • When using:
    Find = ^g
    The only pictures that will be found are those that are formatted in-line with text;
    pictures with any other kind of wrapping will not be found. Accordingly, the most efficient approach may be to use a macro — which will also allow you to differentiate shape/inlineshape types. For example:

    Sub FormatPics()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim Rng As Range, Shp As Shape, iShp As InlineShape
    ' Pictures in all story ranges in the document are processed.
    For Each Rng In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
      ' Go through the shapes in the story range.
      For Each Shp In Rng.ShapeRange
        With Shp
          ' Restrict borders to pictures
          If .Type = msoPicture Then
            ' Apply the required formatting
            With .Line
              .Weight = 1
              .ForeColor = wdColorRed
            End With
          End If
        End With
      Next Shp
      ' Go through the inlineshapes in the story range.
      For Each iShp In Rng.InlineShapes
        With iShp
          ' Restrict borders to pictures
          If .Type = wdInlineShapePicture Then
            ' Apply the required formatting
            With .Borders
              .Enable = True
              .OutsideLineWidth = 1
              .OutsideColor = wdColorRed
            End With
          End If
        End With
      Next iShp
    Next Rng
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

You may have a few pictures in your Word document. To change several parameters of the pictures, you can edit them one by one. When you have a larger number of pictures, you may want to select them all at a time. This allows you to change them all at once. By default, Word does not allow you to select more than one picture at a time.

Word has two layout options for inserting pictures:

  • In Line with Text
  • With Text Wrapping

By default, Word inserts pictures In Line with Text in the document. That means Word will treat the inserted picture as a character. Word also treats other characters in the text in the same way. Therefore, Word will not allow selecting multiple pictures in your document when they are In Line with Text.

Therefore, you must change the layout of the pictures to With Text Wrapping. This will allow you to select multiple pictures at the same time.

  • Using keyboard and mouse
  • Using the Select Multiple Objects dialog

We will show you in simple steps how to go about selecting multiple pictures in your Word document.

Let us begin.


Method #1: Select using keyboard and mouse

Step #1: Open Word document

Open the Word document that has several pictures.

Step #2: Change to With Text Wrapping

Click on the first picture to select it.

Click on the icon for Layout Options that appears next to the picture.

The Layout Options menu will open.

Click on one of the icons under With Text Wrapping.

Exit the menu by clicking on the X on the top right-hand corner.

Repeat this step for all the pictures in the document.

Step #3: Select multiple pictures using keyboard

Click on the first picture to select it.

Press the CTRL button on your keyboard and hold it.

Click on the rest of the pictures.

Word will allow selecting multiple pictures.


Method #2: Select using Select Multiple Objects Dialog

Step #1: Open Word document

Open the Word document that has several pictures.

Step #2: Change to With Text Wrapping

Click on the first picture to select it.

Click on the icon for Layout Options that appears next to the picture.

The Layout Options menu will open.

Click on one of the icons under With Text Wrapping.

Exit the menu by clicking on the X on the top right-hand corner.

Repeat this step for all the pictures in the document.

Step #3: Get Select Multiple Objects icon in the Quick Access Toolbar

By default, Word does not show Select Multiple Objects icon in the toolbar. We must include it in the Quick Access Toolbar.

Click on the Customize Quick Access Toolbar icon.

This will open the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu.

Click on More Commands.

This opens the Word Options dialog box.

Under Choose commands from, click on the expand button.

Click on Commands Not in the Ribbon.

Click inside the box under Commands Not in the Ribbon and type S on your keyboard.

This will bring all commands beginning with S into the box.

Scroll down and click on Select Multiple Objects.

Click on the Add button to include the selection in the right-hand side.

Exit the dialog box by clicking on the Ok button.

Word adds the Select Multiple Objects in the Quick Access Ribbon.

Step #4: Save your document in .doc format

Click on the File tab on the top menu bar to open the file menu.

Click on Save as and then click on Browse to open the File Manager.

Select Word 97-2003 Document against Save as type, and save the document.

Word will save and reopen the document in the .doc format.

Step #5: Select multiple pictures using Select Multiple Objects dialog.

Click on Select Multiple Objects icon in the Quick Access Ribbon.

This will open the Select Multiple Objects dialog box.

Word lists all the pictures within the dialog box.

Click on the names of the pictures you want to select.

Exit the dialog box by clicking on Ok.

Word will select the pictures you chose.


Conclusion

Follow our simple instructions above. You will be able to select multiple pictures in your Word document with ease.

Microsoft Word can do a lot more things for you than you can actually know! Most people use MS-Word for very basic things. But at times you may face situations where you feel that MS-Word will not be able to help you and you will have to do it all manually. For example, what if you need to find and replace all the images in a Word document? Do you think MS-Word can do this? Well, yes! A reader of TechWelkin sent me a query. She said that she is a writer and is working on a large manuscript in MS-Word. She used a tiny image as a separator for various chapters and sections in the document. Now she wants to replace that image with a new one. But there are hundreds of copies of the image. So, will she have to replace each image one by one? Let’s explore the answer!

How to Find and Replace Images in MS Word

MS-Word can help in the above given scenario. There is an automatic way to find all the images in a document and then replace them all with a new image. Please note that this method will find all the images and it will replace all of them with a new one. With this method, we can not be selective about images. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the MS-Word document in which replacement is to be done.
  2. Insert the new image at the top of the document.
  3. Select the newly inserted image and press Ctrl + C to copy it.
  4. Now delete the newly inserted image.
  5. Press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace box.
  6. Put ^g in the Find what box and ^c in the Replace with box

Method of finding all images and replacing them with a new one.

Method of finding all images and replacing them with a new one.

Now press Replace All button to see the magic!

All images have been replaced in MS Word.

All images have been replaced in MS Word.

You will see that all the images in the document will be replaced with the new image. Of course, the replacement operation will also replace the images that you did not want to replace. In such a case you may need to re-insert the images that were not to be replaced. This method is useful in a scenario where:

  1. the document contains only those images that are to be replaced
  2. the document contains a large number of images that need to be replaced and a smaller number of images that should not be replaced

The first scenario is straightforward. In the second scenario, you’ll be doing much less manual work by re-inserting images that were replaced as a side-effect.

The method works by replacing all graphics (denoted by ^g) with the clipboard content (denoted by ^c). Therefore, essentially, you can replace all images with anything that you can copy to clipboard.

To keep your document’s pagination intact, you should use the same size new image.

I hope this MS-Word tip was useful for you. If you have any question on this topic, please feel free to ask me through comments. I will try to assist you. Thank you for using TechWelkin.

I don’t believe there is a simple way to select all images at once unless they are all In Line with Text. If they are, then you can loop them through to make formatting changes using the following example:

Dim iShape As InlineShape

For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
    With iShape
        .Width = InchesToPoints(2)
        .Height = InchesToPoints(1.5)
    End With
Next iShape

I’m not sure if you want to format the pictures or some text around the pictures, but you can do either (or both).

If the images are not all In Line with Text, then you probably want to build something around the following, which moves you to the next graphic:

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToGraphic, Which:=wdGoToNext, Count:=1, Name:=""

The difference with this code is that it puts the cursor in front of the next graphic, but it doesn’t actually select it, so you would need to add to it. If you wanted to loop through an entire document, here’s some code that will do just that. It will find each graphic and type the word «Test» before it… until it finds no more graphics.

Selection.HomeKey unit:=wdStory
Do Until ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Sel") = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("EndOfDoc")
    Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToGraphic, Which:=wdGoToNext, Count:=1, Name:=""
    Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=True
        If Selection.Type = 7 Then
            Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
            Selection.TypeText Text:="TEST"
            Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=False
        Else
            Exit Sub
        End If
Loop

It would help if we knew exactly what you were trying to do.

3 Ways to Extract Images from a Word File

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated April 7, 2021

Applies to: Microsoft® Word® 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or 365 (Windows)

In Microsoft Word, images can be extracted one by one or you can extract all images by converting a Word document to a zip file or saving it as a web page. Extracting all images is helpful if you’d like to find pictures that are inflated in size or reuse pictures in other files. In this article, we’ll use 3 methods to extract images (we’re referring to images or pictures that have been inserted into your Word document, not shapes or SmartArt you’ve created).

Extracting one image at a time using Save as Picture

You can extract individual images and save them as new files using Save As Picture.

There are two benefits to this method:

  • You can give each image a meaningful name and save it in a specific location.
  • You can save the image as a different file type.

To save an image as a new file:

  1. Right-click the image and then click Save as Picture from the drop-down menu.
  2. In the Save as type drop-down menu, select the image file format you want to use. You can save a picture in many formats but common choices are JPG or JPEG (Joint Photographics Experts Group) or PNG (Portable Network Graphics).
  3. In the File name box, type a name for the file.
  4. Navigate to the desired location.
  5. Click Save.

Displaying file extensions in Windows

In order to use the zip procedure (below), you may need to display file extensions in Windows if they are not showing automatically.

If you’re using Windows 8 or 10:

  1. In File Explorer, click the View tab in the Ribbon.
  2. In the Show/Hide group, click the File name extensions check box.

If you’re using Windows 7:

  1. In Windows Explorer, click Folder and Search Options and then click Organize.
  2. On the View tab, under Files and Folders, clear the check box for Hide extensions for known file types.
  3. Click OK.

Extracting all images by changing the file to a zip format

If you want to extract all images, the following trick works with any Microsoft Word file using XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. XML files are stored as a package and can therefore be unzipped. They also end with an «x» such as .docx.

In order to use the zip method, you will need a document created in Word 2007 or a later version and File Explorer or Windows Explorer must be set so that it shows file names with extensions (see the following section if extensions are not displayed).

To extract all image files from a Microsoft Word file:

  1. In File Explorer or Windows Explorer, select the document (it should have a .dotx extension) with the images you wish to extract.
  2. Right-click and choose Copy or press Ctrl + C.
  3. Right-click and choose Paste or press Ctrl + V.
  4. Right-click the copy of the document and choose Rename.
  5. Change the file extension from .dotx to .zip (Windows must be set to display file extensions).
  6. Press Enter. A dialog box appears warning you that the file may become unusable if you change the extension.
  7. Click Yes to continue. The file icon changes to a folder icon.
  8. Double-click the zipped folder. The zipped folder contains multiple folders (some contain information such as XML code or properties).
  9. Double-click the Word folder.
  10. Double-click the media folder to view image, video and audio files. Each file is given a generic name.
  11. Copy these files (or the entire folder) to another location to use in other documents and to rename the files. Copying to another location will unzip the files. You can also click the Extract button in Windows Explorer to extract the files to another location.

Below is a sample Word folder (with a media folder) created during this process:

Extracting all images by saving the Word file as a web page

Unlike PowerPoint, Microsoft Word files can be saved as web pages (HTML format). If you save a Word file as a web page, then separate files are created for pictures and media files.

To extract all image files from a Microsoft Word file by saving the file as a web page:

  1. Click the File tab in the Ribbon and select Save As.
  2. From the Save As Type drop-down menu, select Web Page.
  3. Enter a new name for the file. A .htm extension will be added.
  4. Click OK.
  5. A dialog box may appear indicating that you may lose some formatting. Click Continue. Word will change the view to Web Layout View.
  6. Close the file.
  7. In File Explorer or Windows Explorer, navigate to the location in which you had saved the file. A folder should have been created with the same name and «files» at the end.
  8. Double-click the folder. Image, video and audio files should appear in this folder. Each file is given a generic name.
  9. Right-click any of the files to rename them.

Below are the contents of a folder that was created when a Word file was saved as a web page:

Folder created when a Word file is saved as a web page and extracts images.

When you open Word again, click the View tab and select Print Layout (the default view).

It’s up to you which method you’d prefer but the last two are the easiest if you are extracting multiple images.

I have more than thousand pictures in my document.
I want to select all of them at once, not one by one.
I want select only the pictures, nothing else.
How can I do that?
When I select them I can replace them or delete them at once.

If you want to delete them, you can use Ctrl+H (find/replace) and type ^g
into the Find What box. Don’t put anything in the Replace with box. Hit
Replace All.

Hi Zoljko,

It depends on how the pictures are formatted in Word.

If they’re inserted with a layout of other than inline-with
text wrapping you can use
Tools=>Customize=>Commands and from the Drawing category list
drag the ‘Select Multiple Objects’ commmand to the Drawing Toolbar

You can then click on that choice and use ‘Select All’.

Sometimes you want to insert several images at a time in your MS word file. Microsoft Word can not select multiple images at a time by default. Don’t worry. Here we share the two most straightforward ways to select multiple images. There are three different ways to select and insert multiple images in word.

  1. Select and insert multiple images on one page in MS word.
  2. Select and insert multiple images into a table.

How to Select and Insert multiple Images on one page in Ms word?

Now we insert images using tables. First, we go to the Insert menu and select the picture option.

Here we show a dialog box. Now open the folder and select the images and click the insert button.

Now we show all those images in the word file.

If you want to move any image then select the image, and right click. Now select the Wrap text and Font of text. Now you can easily move the image.

How to select and Insert multiple Images into a table in Ms word

There at first we customize our word page size and layout. So, go to the menu bar and select the page layout option. Next select orientation and then landscape.

Now you can customize the pages margins. Here we select the top and bottom margins 0.3 inches. And click ok

Next go to the insert option and select your table. Your table looks like the image below. In every cell we insert images.

You can resize all the cells.
