Question

I get word 2010 documents containing images. Now for some reason these images are scaled to 133%.

Now I’m looking for a way to iterate through all images in the document and scale them to 100%. I found this script, but it does not work (and I got no clue about word macros, so I don’t know why):

Sub AllGraphicsTo100() 

  Dim ILS As Word.InlineShape 
  Dim SHP As Word.Shape 

  For Each ILS In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes 
    If ILS.Type = wdInlineShapePicture Then 
        ILS.ScaleHeight = 100 
        ILS.ScaleWidth = 100 
    End If 
  Next ILS 

  For Each SHP In ActiveDocument.Shapes 
    If SHP.Type = msoPicture Then 
        SHP.ScaleHeight 1#, True 
        SHP.ScaleWidth 1, True 
    End If 
  Next SHP 

End Sub

Additionally if the images are wider than the column I’d like to scale them to fit the width of the column instead of 100%.

It is possible that your images are linked, rather than embedded. You can modify the macro to include linked images as well like this:

    Sub AllGraphicsTo100()

      Dim ILS As Word.InlineShape
      Dim SHP As Word.Shape

      For Each ILS In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
        If ILS.Type = wdInlineShapePicture Or ILS.Type = wdInlineShapeLinkedPicture Then
            ILS.ScaleHeight = 100
            ILS.ScaleWidth = 100
        End If
      Next ILS

      For Each SHP In ActiveDocument.Shapes
        If SHP.Type = msoPicture Or SHP.Type = msoLinkedPicture Then
            SHP.ScaleHeight 1#, True
            SHP.ScaleWidth 1, True
        End If
      Next SHP

    End Sub
