Photos embedded in Word doc: Can I download them simultaneously?

[Jeepster]

As it says on the tin, I'm working with Word docs, each of which has around 40 photos embedded in them, and need to download the photos.

At the moment I have to right-click each photo and choose Save As Picture.


Is there a way of downloading all ~40 photos at once?

Thanks in advance

Yes, but...
Quality may be degraded and you'll have to figure out which is which.

Save the document as a web page. The pictures will all be saved in the accompanying folder. Close Word. Once you have the pictures renamed and in a different folder, you can delete the web page and the folder will be deleted as well.

Magic! Thanks very much!

If it's a .docx or .docm format file, you can make a copy, change the extension to .zip, then open the .zip archive & extract all the images.
