: Batch Resize Multiple Images in InDesign Document from Placed MS Word Content Problem: When I place an entire Word document that includes text and image, the images do not respect the margins

Problem:

When I place an entire Word document that includes text and image, the images do not respect the margins and resize automatically, so I have to manually resize them.

Desired Solution(s):


I would like the images to respect the margin width when placing an entire Word document.
Alternatively, I would like a way to batch resize all images to a maximum width.


Anything that involves manually placing images (like the first answer below) doesn't solve my problem at all.



For some background, here is the process that I am currently doing manually for every single image in the document. Here is the image after placing the entire Word document, you will notice that it is outside the margin.



I click the container, change the width to 28p (after selecting the icon to constrain proportions). You'll notice that the image is the same size and is now only partially viewed through the container.



Then I click again to select the image itself, and change the width to 28p as well.



I'd be happy with any solution to this problem. Maybe I have set my margins and properties incorrectly? Or maybe this is a solution that requires using scripting?

And again, I'm trying to automate this process, so anything that requires clicking for every single image isn't an answer.
