Pre -
effect preview
as can be seen from the sample document, two apple pictures were originally inserted into the Word page, which are located in the left and right content areas respectively. The red arrow marks the location of the image that needs to be replaced. This shows that the goal of this processing is not to change all the contents of the entire document, but to replace only the specified picture in the document.
After treatment
after the processing is completed, the original two apple pictures have been replaced by new pictures: the left side is replaced by a banana picture and the right side is replaced by a pineapple picture. The body text, layout structure, and other content remain unchanged. In other words, the core role of the software is to use the old map to correspond to the new map for batch replacement, so as to avoid manual adjustment one by one.
Operation Steps
Step1: Enter Word Picture Replacement Function
open HeSoft Doc Batch Tool After, select the Word tool on the left. Find and click on "15. Replace Word Pictures" in the function list.
the purpose of this step is to enter the specialized Word image batch processing module. After entering, you will see a step-by-step operation interface. The process includes: selecting the records to be processed, setting processing options, setting the save location, and starting processing.
Step 2: Add Word files that need to be processed
after entering the "Replace Pictures in Word" page, import the document in step 1, "Select Records to Process". Two buttons, "Add File" and "Import File from Folder", can be seen on the interface.
If you only deal with a small number of Word files, you can click on "Add Files" to import them one by one. If you have a folder containing multiple docx documents that need to be processed together, "Import Files from Folder" is more efficient.
after the import is completed, the file list will display the name, path, extension, creation time, modification time and other information, which is convenient for you to check whether the document to be processed is correct. After confirmation, click "Next" at the bottom.
The expected result of this step is that all pending Word/docx files have been added to the task list and are ready to enter the replacement rule setting stage.
Step 3: Select the replacement range
after entering Step 2 "Set Processing Options", you can see the range options at the top of the interface, including all, main body, header and footer.
If you are not sure whether the picture is in the body or the header and footer, you can select "all" directly. If you explicitly only need to replace the picture in the body, you can narrow the scope according to the actual situation. The purpose of this is to make the picture replacement more accurate and avoid the positions that do not need to be changed being processed together.
From the sample interface, "All" is currently checked, which is suitable for general-purpose batch processing scenarios.
Step 4: Set the old graph and the new graph correspondence
in the "Pictures to be replaced" area, the table contains two columns, the old picture and the new picture. Each row represents a set of substitution relationships: once an old graph is found, it is replaced with the corresponding new graph.
the operation is intuitive:
1. Click on "Select File" in the column of old pictures to upload the original pictures to be recognized and replaced;
2. Click "Select File" in the column of new pictures in the same row to upload the new pictures to be used after replacement;
3. If you replace more than one picture, you can click "Add" on the right to continue to add a set of replacement rules.
A total of two records are set in the example, which shows that the software supports one-time configuration of multiple sets of "old picture → new picture" correspondence, which is suitable for the scene of "some pictures in Word are replaced with other pictures" instead of only one picture.
The expected result of this step is that you have clearly told the software which new map should be replaced when the old map is encountered in the document.
Step 5: Check the replacement record and go to the next step
when the corresponding relationship of each group of pictures is set, the interface will display a prompt such as "1 file has been selected", which is convenient to confirm that both the old and new pictures have been added correctly.
If a group is set incorrectly, you can use the delete button next to the row to remove and reselect. If there are not enough replacement groups, you can continue to click "Add" to add more rules. After confirmation, click "Next" at the bottom to continue with the subsequent save location and process execution process.
Although the screenshot mainly shows the replacement rule setting page, it can be clearly seen from the step bar at the top of the page that "Set Save Location" and "Start Processing" will be entered later. Usually just press the software guide to continue the operation, you can batch output processed Word documents.
FAQ or Caution
1. Does this replace all the pictures in the document?
it's not. The focus of this function is to match and replace the specified old graph. If you set up several groups of old and new pictures, you will process these pictures, which is more suitable for Word document scenes that only replace a few pictures.
2. Can I handle multiple Word files at once?
you can. It can be seen from the file list in the interface and the "Import Files from Folder" button that this is a typical batch processing mode, which is suitable for multiple Word and docx documents to perform the same picture replacement task at the same time.
3. Do old and new maps need one-to-one correspondence?
need. Each line is a set of replacement relationships. It is recommended that you check one by one when setting up to ensure that the old picture is correctly paired with the new picture. In this way, a picture can be replaced with wrong material.
4. Do you want to back up the document before replacing it?
it is recommended to extract 1 to 2 sample documents to test the effect before formal batch processing, and process all documents after confirming that the replacement results meet expectations. For important materials, contract templates, teaching materials and courseware and other documents, it will be safer to back up in advance.
5. Which document types are appropriate?
as can be seen from the example list, the software directly processes Word documents, especially for common docx files. In daily office, if you often need to maintain Word templates, program books, product manuals, training materials, this kind of batch replacement picture needs will be very common.
