atw: Re: Using Paste Special in a Word macro

The other option is to save the document as HTML and word will save
copies of the graphics as png and jpg in a separate folder. Then go back
and use the include picture function.

Hi Micky
Thanks for the suggestion but will that be able to be put into the macro
=3D as well? I have inherited many "ugly" user manuals that are =
liberally
=3D sprinkled with graphics. One 37 page Word doc was 29.8MB and when I
went through =3D every graphic in the doc and Copy > Paste Special >
Picture (Windows Metafile) =3D the document size dropped to just under
2MB. I need a macro that will run =3D all the way through the document =
and
re-paste every graphic.=3D20

Regards

Helen=3DA0

Hi Helen (H)
Before you run the macro, select and Ctrl+C (copy) the graphic you=3D20
want pasted into the system clipboard / pate buffer.

Then the Replace: field instruction you must use in the replace=3D20
dialog action that you record into your macro is "^c" (caret c) =
which=3D20
instructs Word to paste the contents of the clipboard.

That should do the trick.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Micky G.
