Find & Replace a Graphic

[Guest]

Is there a way in word that you can do a find of a specific graphic (if you
know the name or something) and replace that specific graphic with Text?

If you click on the More button in the Find & Replace dialog, you can
use the Special menu to say find Graphics. Use Find Next until you get
the right graphic, then click Replace.

You could possibly write a macro to do what you want, but unless you
need to repeat this exact process more than 25-50 times, it probably is
not worth the trouble.

I did see that option but this document is full of graphics. Thank you for
your response.

The problem is that graphics in Word don't have names. If you had the
(incredibly rare) foresight to mark that specific graphic with a unique
style, you could search for that. The next best thing would be to search for
some unique text (maybe a caption?) that occurs near the graphic, and then
manually replace the graphic when you can see it.
