Extracting images to file from Word using VB automation

Chri #1 / 5	Extracting images to file from Word using VB automation Hi all I need to automate the extraction of images embedded in word 2000 docs. I (logically) want to do something like for each picture in the document save it to file_n.graphicextension end for each I'm already using VB to automate the extraction of textual information, and "all" I have left to do is the images. I don't care what format they come out in, as long as I can automate saving each to a file and the file be of some graphical type (bmp/gif/jpg/whatever). What's the latest and greatest answer to this please? Many thanks in advance Chris Sexton

Doug Robbins - Word MV #2 / 5	Extracting images to file from Word using VB automation Hi Chris, When the document is saved as web page, a .jpg file is created for each image in it and placed in a folder with the document name.

mike wilso #3 / 5	Extracting images to file from Word using VB automation Chris, I run Word through VB6. How do I do this programatically? moWord.Documents(1).SaveAs(????) There are no options for HTML format. I could run the word command macro "FileSaveHTML", but i dislike running macros from VB6.

Rizwan Vir #4 / 5	Extracting images to file from Word using VB automation hi chris, I wasted a lot of time on this as well before figuring out a possible solution. You can actually copy a word graphic/image to the clipboard using the copy or copyAsPicture method of the range object, and then use the vb6 functions for clipboard to get the data and put it into a picture object, which can be saved. Although it's a bit tricky, it's a relatively small amount of code . You can also check the clipboardformat to find the format of the image. One caveat - it seems to only work for in-line shapes. Luckily, you can convert non in-line shapes into in-line.
