I routinely paste many screen captures into Microsoft Word 2007 and then have to manually resize them to around 75%, which becomes very tedious.
The screen captures are all different sizes.
I've tried creating a macro for this, but I'm only able to write a macro that will resize a selected image to specific dimensions. And I can't get the macro recorder to recognize either manually resizing in the document window or using the Size dialog.
Is it possible to write a macro that will resize a selected image to 75% of its current size?
This question is similar to mine, but the user's requirement is to resize all of his images to the same size. I need to resize images that have an arbitrary height/width.
I'm also open to a technique that will paste images at a smaller size to begin with.

Copy this code to a module in VBA Editor (Alt + F11) for your document. If there isn't a module already, you can select to add one from the insert menu.
To run a this macro press Alt + F8, select PicResize from the list of macros and click RUN. You can also assign it to a button in a menu, if you want to just click each time to run the macro.
