Inserting several pictures into MS Word at once without using Media Browser
There is a workaround, going through TextEdit:


Open TextEdit, and create a new file.
In TextEdit, add the images to the new file.
In TextEdit, select all of your images and copy them (cmd-A, cmd-C).
In Word, paste the images (cmd-V).  


This will result in all of the images being pasted into Word, which you can then manipulate as you normally would.
