Word: Count graphics or images

1. There is no direct way to count graphics in Word. However, you can make it easy for yourself.
2. To do this, save the document as an html file. To do this, click on the Office icon in the top left and select "Save As".
3. In the new dialog, select "html" under "File type" and then click on "Save".
4. All graphics or images are now filtered from the document and saved separately in a folder.
5. In this folder you can quickly overlook and easily count all the images in the document
6. If you don't feel like counting or if the document simply contains too many pictures, then right-click on an empty space in the picture folder and select "Properties".
7. Here you can read under "Contents" how many files - ie pictures - are in the folder.
