Selectiing multiple pictures this painful???

[pixel.to.life]

Hi.

I have MS Word with Vista Home. Its been an hour now, and I cant seem
to figure out how to select multiple images in a .doc document. All
the images have the text wrapping seting of "In Line With Text" that
dis-allows them to be selected as graphics objects in a group.

All I want to do is to select all the images in the document, and
apply the same crop on all of them.

Until now, I have tried the following:

- Select All (this selects the text, not the pictures) -> format
pictures toolbar disabled
- Change the wrapping setting from "In Line With Text" to "In Front of
Text"
- Save the document as a webpage. This way I get all the images saved
together in one folder, that I tried to insert again in a fresh word
document, hoping the default settings will keep the pictures as
graphic objects, select-able multiply by using shift-click. No luck.

There are about 50 images in the document, and 4 such documents.
Thinking about it now, I would have been better off manually cropping
them one by one. so much for a popular and user-friendly word
processor!!!

Any input appreciated!

G'Day Pixel,

You could also use Photoshop as your Word Processor!

If you "Format Picture" so they are NOT in-line you will be able to select
multiple images BUT THE CROP TOOL WILL BE DISABLED.

I'm not sure that you can do a "multiple crop" in Photoshop either.

Goddamn useless software ...
