[How to] Extract Images From Word Document

When Microsoft launched Office 2007, they also announced a brand new way to store their documents in a XML-based file format called DOCX. Retrieving images from word documents have never been easy and straight-forward, be it .doc or .docx formats.

Extracting Images with Word 2007

As I mentioned earlier, .DOCX is an xml based format and when you save a document in Word 2007’s default DOCX format, you are in effect saving a zip file that contains all the elements of the document. You can easily extract the files from that zipped file by opening it with a zip utility such as WinRar or Winzip – or if you change the file extension from DOCX to ZIP recent Windows versions should be able to open it directly.
So, here is a simple guide to extract images

Make a copy of your docx file. In case its not DOCX, save the file as DOCX.
Now rename the type from .docx to .zip
Right Click and extract where you want.
Now open the folder where you have unzipped and navigate to word >> media
You will find all the images available in this folder.

The images are named as image1, image2 etc. Rename them as per your wish and voila you have all the images you wanted to save from the DOCX!
