Get Embedded/linked images from word file

There are two methods to extract image from a word file.

Method 1:

It took me a while to realize how to embed images in word, linked to the external files. Normally this case arises when you open html files in word and save it. Amazingly you will find "Edit Links to Files" in such case. It would have been great to find that option while saving not in the internet.

On clicking that an option box will appear.

Select all the files, click "Break Link" and check "Save pictures in document". And you are done.

Method 2:

You need

1. office 2007 or upper version
2. rar – extractor utility (e.g. winrar)

Steps:

1. first save your doc file as docx file.
2. now change the extension of world file to rar, means instead of .docx put .rar . Now extract this rar file with winrar. (to change extension of file you need to go “Folder options” and in view unclick on option in “view” tab “hide extension for known file type”.
3. You will get one media named folder, where you can get your images.
