MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2006automatically extracting images from word file
Can anyone advise if it's possible to extract and save .bmp images embedded in a Word document using VBA. If yes any pointers to the code needed?

I think the file must be corrupt in some way. Signaturebof at bof dot me dot uk See the following page of fellow MVP Steven Lebans website http://www.lebans.com/msword.htm SignatureHope this helps.

See here for more information: http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Hi Shauna, thanks for the reply, unfortunately the file is not displaying the images, giving an error message about lack of memory/disk space, when it's saved as HTML it creates a blank HTML page, so I was hoping to try another tack and access them through VBA. Signaturebof at bof dot me dot uk If you save doc as XML, you will find images in the file as base64 surrounded by a tag like: <w:binData w:name="wordml://02000001.jpg"> Extract the text and use a base64 to binary converter >>Hi bof >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > it's saved as HTML it creates a blank HTML page, so I was hoping to try > another tack and access them through VBA. >If you save doc as XML, Thanks Chris, sorry for such a basic question but how? Can't see that as a save option, or any XML reference in the Help (except for smart tags). Signaturebof at bof dot me dot uk Just a note to say thanks for everyone's input. The problem is now solved, it was a corrupt file that was causing the problems, fortunately I never throw anything away and found a good version of the file on a dusty backup CD from seven years ago. I've now extracted the images by saving as HTML. Signaturebof at bof dot me dot uk
