atw: Re: Using Paste Special in a Word macro

Hi Micky
Thanks for the suggestion but will that be able to be put into the macro =
as
well? I have inherited many "ugly" user manuals that are liberally =
sprinkled
with graphics. One 37 page Word doc was 29.8MB and when I went through =
every
graphic in the doc and Copy > Paste Special > Picture (Windows Metafile) =
the
document size dropped to just under 2MB. I need a macro that will run =
all
the way through the document and re-paste every graphic.=20

Regards

Helen=A0

Hi Helen (H)
Before you run the macro, select and Ctrl+C (copy) the graphic you=20
want pasted into the system clipboard / pate buffer.

Then the Replace: field instruction you must use in the replace=20
dialog action that you record into your macro is "^c" (caret c) which=20
instructs Word to paste the contents of the clipboard.

That should do the trick.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Micky G.
