I would absolutely LOVE to have the following TWO macros.

The first one will work on an individual graphic that is already selected.

The second will process ALL graphics in a Word document.

Here's what it should do:

Cut the graphic.
Edit-Paste Special, as a Picture.

If the picture style JPG is available, that should be chosen.
If it's NOT, then just "picture" should be the type.
If it's an Office drawing object, and not a graphic, then do nothing to it at all.

No message boxes required, unless you want to provide one at the end of the *document* one that tells the user how much electronic size they saved, and also saves the file to a new name since SOMETIMES graphics get ruined by this process, tho it's rare.

I have a COM addin for PPT that does this and can direct you to the person who created it if you need assistance with code. However, I don't think it distinguishes between the picture type...
