I was sleepwalking while deleting pictures one-by-one in a document — not remembering there was a faster and easier way to do this. First, I tried copying and pasting the image in the find/replace tool, but no luck. I knew there was a way to do it as I recalled discovering this process a long time ago.

After searching — surprisingly longer than I expected — I found the answer. Too simple.

1. Do Find and Replace (CTRL+H) in Microsoft Word.
2. Enter ^g in the “Find what” box.
3. Enter whatever you want to replace with in the “Replace with” box or leave blank to simply delete all the images.
4. Click “Replace All.”

Deleting floating graphics requires a macro. This solution also comes from the Google Groups post.
