How can I remove all text from a document, leaving only the images?
As the title says, I have a large collection of documents containing text, tables, bulleted lists and figures. The figures have the layout "top and bottom" or "square" and have a caption that's grouped to each figure. I would like to delete all the text in the document, leaving only the figures (with accompanying captions). How can I do that in an automated way? Ideally I'd like the figures to end up on different pages (not all on top of each other). I wouldn't mind using macros if necessary. |

You should be able to delete all text with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = [!\/]{1,} Replace = ^12 Any tables will remain, but will have no text. Provided your images aren't anchored to the same locations, they'll be placed on separate pages.

First attempt
Hi Paul,
When I tried the find and replace with default options it made 0 replacements and the document remained unchanged. When I tried again with wildcard search turned on it resulted in an error - "the find what text contains a pattern match expression which is not valid" Could you explain how the pattern works so that maybe I could tailor it to my document? Regards, Luke |
