I have several plots output from another program as jpgs. These are graphs or contour plots. They have a thin line for a border, but significant white space outside this border. I want to import these pictures, but to see the contents of the figures as best that I can, I have to crop out the white space and then resize the pictures to 6.5-inch width, keeping aspect ratio constant. This process takes a lot of time, as I have many of these pictures.

I would like to have a macro that does the following after selecting the imported picture: (1) crop out the white space (I would have to experiment with how much to crop around each edge--the amounts cropped at each edge will be the same for each picture), and (2) resize to a width of 6.5 inches.

I have never written a visual basic macro for Word. This cannot be very difficult. Can someone help me out?
