How to delete images in a large word document

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hey guys,

Still a newbie. I have a word document that is unfortunately300 pages long! And I am trying to delete all the images in the document so that all thats left is just the text. Basically I was able to OCR a PDF document to a word doc, however when you OCR it takes lines and other junk and makes them into images in the word doc. All I want to do is end up with just the text.

How do I go about doing that?

So far I have developed the following applescript and need help figuring out the rest.

Thanks guys!

tell application “Microsoft Word”
set myPics to inline pictures of document 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of myPics
select item i of myPics
delete selection object
end repeat
end tell

Model: Macbook Pro
Browser: Safari 536.26.17
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.8)

hope not too late to help…
You have to count down as each picture deleted means that the index changes…

set Pics to inline pictures of active document
	repeat with i from (count of Pics) to 1 by -1
		delete inline picture i of active document 
	end repeat

hope it helps
