Romove all pictures

#1

There are times when I copy & paste from websites to Calc. Things like lists of TV stations or Twitter followers.

When I do so it also captures all the images and pastes them to the document.

This causes a big mess since most of the images cover each other and do not align with their respective text entry.

I have to click them one by one and delete them. With a big list this takes a lot of time.

Is there a way of removing all images at once?

Rather than just pasting, select Edit > Paste Special, and choose "Unformatted Text".

I don't think there's an easy way to keep text formatting but not images, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

o Go to Edit | Select All (or press Ctrl+A).
o Go to Edit | Delete Content... (or press Delete).
o In the Delete Contents dialogue, untick "Delete all" if necessary and ensure only Objects is ticked.
o OK.

You may also like to experiment with using Edit | Paste Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste to insert the material originally. In the Paste Special dialogue, select "Unformatted text".

I trust this helps.

Hi :slight_smile:
I was going to suggest that answer too but Brian beat me and gave a
better answer too :)) I felt like i really learned something that i
could possibly remember and probably even find useful myself. Usually
my usage is tooo basic to make much advantage of most of the answers
here but it's still feels good to see them.
