I have Word 2003 and Corel Draw at the office, and this approach yields good
results, preserving the resolution of the source files that were placed in the
Word docs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for the good advice, Fred!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm with you on all but the last point. Unfortunately, this is one of
those legacy docs that has a long and checkered history. It was originally
done in PageMaker 6.5, and it was only through a series of gyrations and
extractions that I got a Word doc at all. No source art files, nobody left
to tell the tale!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried changing the extension, but I have only Word 2003 at work,
and WinZip wouldn't buy it. Will have to try it at home with a more recent
version, but I do see your point. Will try more maneuvers tomorrow.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This list is such a great resource! You've saved me enormous amounts
of work so many times!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again,<BR>Marguerite</DIV>

filename extension. All that is necessary is to open it with a tool like
WinZip that looks past the extension to see what's inside the file
itself. <BR> <BR>Second, the word/media folder you will find inside
the Word file will contain a graphic object for every graphic in the
document whether it was pasted, inserted by reference, or embedded as an
editable object. Graphics that are in a vector format (WMF, Visio
objects, etc.) are in the word/media folder as .emf or .wmf objects, and
raster graphics seem to be in .png format. I was just working on a
document that had a mixture of pasted vector figures, pasted raster
images, and embedded Visio drawing objects, and all of them were present
in the word/media folder.<BR> <BR>Third, if the graphics were
imported by reference you'd already have spearate external files
for each one, so there seems to be little point in extracting another
copy from the Word document.<BR> <BR>-Fred
