Re: Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Hi All, Another way to get the graphics involves using Word 2007. 1. Create a copy of the file saving it using the .docx extension. 2. Go to the folder where you saved the docx. 3. Change the file extension from .docx to .zip. For example, sample.docx would become sample.zip. A zip file is created. 4. Extract the contents of the zip file. 5. Open the extracted folder, and go to word media. All of the images used in the document are in the media folder in their original file format. The original names of the images are lost, but you have all of the images in one folder. I hope that helps! Thanks, Steven P.

RE: Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Pat, The best way I have found to do this is to print the Word document to PDF, then use Acrobat to extract the applicable pages and crop away everything except the graphics you need. Then the PDF becomes your source file for the graphics. This works no matter what the original graphic format was or how they got into Word.

I should have been paying more attention at the time, but can someone remind me what that utility is called? (I'm hoping it can do a better job than Acrobat.) Yes. Mif2Go can do that for you, and it works fine with the demo version; you don't have to buy it: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm The process is described in the User's Guide, par. 29.2.3, Exporting and converting embedded graphics. It works best if the image is alone in its anchored frame; then you get the original format at full original resolution back. You do *not* get the original name, because Frame does not store it; yet another reason never to embed graphics. Worst case, Mif2Go exports the graphic at screen resolution, in the format you select (usually GIF or JPEG), using Frame's native graphic export filters. In that case, callouts, montages, etc., are retained, but the resolution is generally much worse than the original was. BTW: does anyone know of a similar utility that can pull graphics out of MS Word documents? Actually, you can do that with another utility included with Mif2Go, exwmf.exe. Save the Word file as RTF, and run the utility from the command line, as described in par. 29.6.2, Using the Mif2Go exwmf utility. Word *does* retain the names of the graphics it embeds, so you will get back WMFs containing Word's internal representation of each image named originalname.wmf. HTH! -- Jeremy H.

RE: Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Hi Pat, I have done several FrameScript scripts over the years to do this. The process depends on how much control you need over the graphic file names. For example, here is the workflow we used on one project: 1) The client imported the Word documents into FrameMaker. 2) The client used a script to mark each graphic with the desired file name. 3) The client ran another script that exported each graphic to a specified folder with the desired name. The same script then re-imported the image by reference. I have done more automatic variations that derive the graphic file names automatically, based on the FrameMaker file name and page number of the graphic. Of course with FrameScript, just about anything is possible. If you give me some more details on your requirements offlist, I will let you know what is possible. Thank you very much.

RE: Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Jim, Unless I misunderstand the process and the evidence of my own eyes, if you make sure that you don't downsample or compress images during the conversion to Word, you get exactly the image quality that was available in the original document, no more and no less.

Extracting embedded graphics from Word
Jim, Unless I misunderstand the process and the evidence of my own eyes, if you make sure that you don't downsample or compress images during the conversion to Word, you get exactly the image quality that was available in the original document, no more and no less.

Then the PDF becomes your source file for the graphics. This works no matter what the original graphic format was or how they got into Word.

The graphics are embedded but the client wants them imported by reference in Frame. I tried "extracting" them from Word by saving a file as HTML but the graphics became blurry and unusable. They look fine when I open the Word file in Frame. Is there a way to extract graphics from Word without losing quality? Or a utility that converts embedded graphics in Frame into imported- by-reference? Thanks for any help.
