Documents written and written with Office programs (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) can contain images and photographs in addition to text. If a document is very long and you want to extract the images inside to reuse them or to save them detached from the document and be able to browse the various photos of the computer, you can use various methods.
First of all, it is important to know that Word documents from docx format, Excel Xlsx tables and Powerpoint pptx presentations, written with the 2007 and 2010 versions of Office are, in fact, compressed archives such as zip or rar files .
Being compressed archives, a program is enough to extract the archives to extract the images as separate files to be saved.
Among the best programs to open zip or rar archives, you can choose 7Zip, free and simple.
7Zip, after installation, enables a new menu to the contextual menu that appears by right clicking on a file then, by right clicking on a Docx, Xlsx or pptx file, you can choose to extract the archive into a folder .
If you extract a Docx file, go to the word folder and then on media to find the image files extracted from the Word document.
The images are always extracted in their original natural format used by the creator of the document and without making transformations, leaving the highest quality.
If you prefer (even if I don't see any reason) you can also use a specific program called Office Image Extraction Wizard which provides a simple and guided procedure to extract the images and photographs inserted into an Office document, to save them on the computer separately.
This program supports Office docx, pptx and xlsx formats, OpenDocument odp, ods and odt formats and epub and CBZ formats.
Obviously it does not support documents written with Office 2003 or saved with doc, xls or ppt format simply because these formats are not removable archives.
To extract images from an Office document of any type, including doc, xls and ppt, the simplest and most banal procedure of all is to open the file with the suitable program (Word, Powerpoint or Excel) and save a copy ( Save as) in HTML format .
The HTML format is the one for publication on the web but, in its creation, the file folder is also generated.
By saving a document called foo.doc as an HTML file, both the foo.html file and the foo_file folder that contains all the extracted images of the document in the original format are created.
