Delete all paragraphs containing a particular image using a VBA macro in MS Word

[sshishirkumar]

I have a word file with some sentences which begin with a particular image/icon/picture (the desktop icon). I use a VBA-macro to perform certain changes in the document. I want to delete all the statements/sentences/paragraph which begin with this particular image in the document? (may be by using the image properties like height=0.34' and width=0.34'etc or by comparing the image with its own locally saved image) please help !

i have made this for text comparision you can compare with height,width and more. for comparing with your local machine image

try this

Sub test()
Dim pic As Shape, a As Shape, b As Shape
''''uses only 2 pics at a time
For Each pic In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If pic.Type = msoPicture Then
    
        If a Is Nothing Then
        Set a = pic
        ElseIf b Is Nothing Then
        Set b = pic
        End If
    
        
    End If
    
Next pic
''''types of comparision
' a.Height
' a.Width
' a.AutoShapeType
' a.ID

If a.AlternativeText = b.AlternativeText Then
MsgBox "Caught Them"
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

or use this for all pics comparing height and width

Sub test()
Dim pic As Shape, a As Shape, b As Shape
''''for all the pics
For Each pic In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If pic.Type = msoPicture Then
        If pic.Height = 0 And pic.Width = 0 Then
        MsgBox "delete your row"
        Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
    
Next pic

End Sub

Hi Thanks for your response,
I have written something similar to your second solution,
Sub DeletePictureParagraphs()
Dim objPic As InlineShape

For Each objPic In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If objPic.Height = 0.33 And objPic.Width = 0.33 Then
objPic.Range.Delete
Exit Sub
End If
Next objPic
End Sub

but I am facing a problem. none of the lines which I wanted are getting deleted ( probably the height and width which I mentioned in the code(from the properties of the picture in inches) are not in line with what the code is expecting. I haven't tried the first method which u suggested as I just don't want to depend on comparing the picture from local picture. I have uploaded my file in the below location as I am unable to attach here. Please help. I want to delete all the paragraphs ( statements/sentences) which contain the desktop picture/icon at the beginning of the line.
