Method 1: Using Macros

Macros automate a certain task that otherwise would require you to perform it repeatedly. Since we need to resize all the pictures in MS Word, we would be taking the help of Macros. We would create it by writing the code to resize photos.

Step 1:Open the Word file where you want to make all the pictures of the same size.

Step 2: Click on the first photo in the file to select it. Then, click on theViewtab at the top.

Step 3:SelectMacros.

Step 4:Type a name in the box under the Macro name. For the sake of understanding, we would be calling it Resize. Then, click onCreate.

A new Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window will open.

Step 5: Select the existing code and delete it.

Step 6:Then, copy and paste one of the following codes into the window:

Type A:Use the following code if you want to change the height and width in terms of pixels. Replace 500 and 600 by your own values.

Type B:Use this if you want to change the size by inches. Replace 2 by your value.

Type C: If you want to scale the images, the following code will help you. Replace 30 and 40 by your preferred values.

Step 7:Once copied, close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window by clicking on the cross icon.

Step 8: With the image selected, click onMacrosunder theViewtab again.

Step 9:The Macros window will open. Click onRunwith your macro selected.

As soon as you press the Run button, you will notice the size will change for all images.

Method 2: Using the Magical Key

Did you know you could repeat your last action on Microsoft Office apps by just clicking a button on your keyboard? That key is the F4 on Windows and Y key on Mac.

Step 1:Open the Word document that contains your images.

Step 2:Right-clickon the first image and selectSize and Position.

Step 3:In the Layout box that opens, click on theSize tab.

Step 4: Then, uncheck the box next toLock aspect ratio. Enter the required values for the height and width of images in the given boxes. Click onOK.

Step 4: You will notice the size will be changed for the selected image. Now, click on other images one by one and hit the F4 (or fn + F4 on Windows) or Y key (on macOS) for each of them.

A well-organized document with images of proper size looks better than an unorganized one. While the above methods will let you perform your intended task of resizing all images, we wish there was an easy way.
