What you are asking sounds doable but would take more time than I have available at the moment. Macropod raised the question of inline vs floating shapes which would need to be answered but the basic (aircode) approach I would use is to loop the graphics and apply the heading 1 style at that point to work out the previous heading 1 number. You could also use a counter to keep track of how many graphics have already been found and reset that when the heading number increases.

My initial musings are

Code:

Sub ExportPicts()
  Dim aShp As InlineShape, i As Integer, sPath As String, sName As String
  Dim iCounter As Integer
  sPath = ActiveDocument.Path & Application.PathSeparator
  For Each aShp In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
    iCounter = iCounter + 1
    aShp.Range.Paragraphs(1).Style = "Heading 1"
    i = aShp.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.ListFormat.ListString - 1
    aShp.Range.Paragraphs(1).Style = "Normal"
    Debug.Print i, iCounter
    'not sure on the code to export inlineshape
  Next aShp
End Sub
