MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / April 2007Save embedded wmf graphic as separate wmf file
Hi I've got a word document with a wmf logo graphic in it. What's the easiest way to save the graphic as a separate wmf? Thanks Leonard If you know that the logo is a WMF file, then it stands to reason it was inserted from an external source, and the best solution is to return to that source. The only alternative I know of is to extract the image using the instructions at http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm. Note, however, that this will result in a GIF or JPEG image. You could edit that in a graphics application and resave as a WMF file, but if you're going to do that, you might as well copy/paste the logo from the docoment into the graphics editor.

Do you suggest any particular graphics applications, either free, or a trial that I could use. Thanks again.

You can copy and paste into PowerPoint or Publisher and then save as a .wmf. You might try pasting into DrawPlus from Serif, it is free. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com > Thanks for that Suzaane, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> > >> > Leonard How do you save an image in PPT or PUB as a WMF file?

Many users recommend Irfanview (www.irfanview.com), which is free, and SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) offers a free trial, but neither of those saves in WMF format, either. Could you make do with a GIF or a JPEG? If so, use the method described in the previously suggested article. If not, you may have to recreate the logo from scratch, and for that you'll need a graphics application that can save in the desired format. SignatureSuzanne S.
