How to programmatically remove all pictures, but keep all text boxes (both inlineshapes and shapes) in a document? Is there a particular type for pictures? In some cases, the pictures are a group of pictures. Any help is appreciated.

If you use code like:
.InlineShapes(i).Type
you can specify the kind of inline shape to process. For an enumeration, input:
WdInlineShapeType
in Word's VBE, search pane.

Similarly, for shapes, if you use code like:
.Shapes(i).Type
you can specify the kind of shape to process. For an enumeration, input
MsoShapeType
in Word's VBE, search pane.

Thanks. It helped a lot. I found the type for pictures is wdinlineshapepicture if the picture is one of inlineshapes.
