Copy image out of Microsoft Word

I have a few embedded images in a Microsoft Word document, is there anyway to copy the images out as jpeg files?

Solution 1:

If you are using Word 2007 you can open *.docx in 7-zip, since it is basically just a zip archive. Images are located in folder word\media. A bit more direct approach to saving as html but obviously won't work in older versions of Word.

Solution 2:

Although Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is a good approach, but a better way is to save the MS word file as webpage, and get the jpg file.

The reason I said this is because Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V will generate a resolution loss in the picture. OTOH, if you save the Microsoft Word to HTML, then all the image size, and the original picture resolution will be preserved.

Solution 3:

Right click -> Save Picture...

Solution 4:

Just copy and paste them into an image editing program (even ms paint will do) and then save as a jpeg.
