Default OT Trying to save pictures sent in a word type document

Hi all,
I have been sent some Photos that seem to be imbedded in a
document like word, I can right click on them and copy but not put
them into Photoshop only a word document.
I need them as jpeg files
The only way I seem to be able to copy them is by using print screen
or the snipping tool in Win 7 which often means losing part of the
picture because it is displayed bigger that it would be in Photoshop.
Plus they end up a low resolution.
Is there a way of saving them better like it can with jpeg files?
Mick.

You can "Save As..." a file, and in my version of Word there is the
option (just beneath "Save As") of "Save As a Web page..."

This produces a folder which has a file with the suffix .htm, and also
versions of all the images used in the document. (Caveat: heaven knows
what Word does with images once you insert 'em in a document, but my
guess is you'll get the original images.)

Can you see that in your version?

Open document. Save as HTML. That will save an html file and a folder
full of images.

Bizarrely, many images used to be stored internally in PNG format. Well
before Word was able to handle PNG images...

No idea what happens nowadays.

D'you know, I never knew you could do that! I've always done a
right-click on the image, copy, open imaging program, file, new, edit,
paste image, save image.

However, my first tries produced images of around 35kB from a 550kB
picture I added to a Word document. Obviously, a lot of resolution has
been lost. The old way produced a 550kB picture - but for some reason,
apparently with a reduced number of colour levels. Further experimenting
is needed.

Mick.

1. Open Photoshop. FileNew. Set the pixel size of the new file to
something bigger than the image you want to copy. I usually use 3000 x
4000. The file will appear and will have nothing visible.
2. Open Word. Adjust your windows so both Word and Photoshop are visible
(I have two large screens. Tee hee).
Left click on the image so it is selected. Click on it again and drag it
into the blank Photoshop file. Use the trim tool to frame it (select the
area you want then press return). LayerFlatten image. The file will
have the same pixel count as the version in Word. Save as *.jpg.

You don't have to 'adjust' your window sizes as such in W7. If you just left
click and hold on the topmost bar of one of your windows, and slide it as
far left as it will go, it will snap to a half width image. Do the same for
your other window, but slide it all the way to the right. You will then have
two windows exactly side by side, and occupying exactly the whole screen
between them. You can then drag and drop between them as much as you like.

There can be resolution loss. In extremis set the screen resolution as
high as it will go, temporarily. This gives horrible tiny icons and
everything, but if you then fill the screen with whatever you want a
screen shot of the resolution is better.

Well I never knew that! Cheers! Mind you, those of use with two large
screens don't really need to do that. (Tee hee)

An annoying thing with the version of Linux I have now is if I do
something like that it explodes into full screen more often than not.
Pity that glitch works that way.

Have you tried dragging and dropping?

or

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howt...ice-2010-2007/

or

http://computeradvisors.net/knowledg...docx-document/

it seems the docx file is a zipped archive and can be opened with a
suitable tool, and the images ripped out....

Indeed, .docx is a zip file. But the answer of saving as html works
right back many versions of Word and includes .doc formats.

But you may lose resolution in the process.
