| 549322 | 2007-05-12 09:38:00 | Perhaps i should clarify that, I know how to delete it but i want to extract the image for use in something else | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 549323 | 2007-05-12 09:40:00 | I am assuming that the image was originally placed using file>place image or what ever word uses. If the image is embeded in the doc then you would need to open the doc in photoshop unless you can hi light the image itself in the live document. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 549324 | 2007-05-12 09:48:00 | Drat I had a feeling that would be the answer | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 549325 | 2007-05-12 10:39:00 | Have a look at Word <Format><Background> <Printed Background> I believe you should be able to cut copy or paste any image you like from there. There is quite a bit in Word help on it. |

| 549326 | 2007-05-12 11:11:00 | Save the document as a HTML file. All embeded images should be able to be pulled out that way and will appear in the same directory as a separate image file. | Jen (38) | ||
| 549327 | 2007-05-12 11:24:00 | 1. Click on the embedded photo. A sizing frame will appear. Copy. Paste into a New Image using a photo editing program. 2. Use a screenshot program. I use MWSnap and this method is quicker than 1. above. 3. Click and copy as in 1. above. Paste within a folder opened in Explorer. A file called "scrap" is produced. Add the extension "jpg" and presto!.... nah it no work but tried this for the hell of it. 4. Jen's on to it. Once an image is included in a Word document (as opposed to being linked to it), it becomes part of that document and there is no way of extracting that image for re-use, while it remains part of that document. You can, however, save the image as a web page, which will separate the component parts out of the document as files (from Word 2000 on). See instructions here: www.gmayor.com 5. More googling got this:The result is a low resolution image which appears pixelated when printed. To ensure all the pixels in the image in the Word document are extracted, you will need access to CorelDRAW or Microsoft Photo Editor which was supplied with Win 98 (the newer version with Win XP doesn't do as good a job).
