Pictures are inserted into Microsoft Office Word documents in two ways. One of them is implemented by the "Link to file" command, and in this case the image remains a separate file from the main document. Another method is carried out by the "Insert" command - the image is embedded in the document, resulting in one common file in doc or docx format. If the second method was used when creating a document, you can also do the opposite operation - extract a picture from the text and save it to a separate file.
Necessary
Word processor Microsoft Office Word 2007 or 2010
Instructions
Step 1
Launch a word processor and load a document with the images you want into it. Call the context menu of the image that you want to save separately from the Word document - right-click on it. From the menu, select "Save as Picture", and Word will open a standard dialog for saving files.
Step 2
In the "File name" field, type the name of the saved image, and in the "File type" drop-down list, select one of the five graphic formats. Using the directory tree in the left column of the dialog, navigate to the folder where you want to place the new file and click the "Save" button.
Step 3
Another method is convenient to use if the document contains a large number of desired images. In order not to save each one individually, create a copy of the document in the format of a web page - in this case, Word itself will place all the images used in the document in a separate folder. To do this, open the Word menu and select the "Save As" line. In the "File type" drop-down list, select "Web page (*.htm; *. Html)" and click the "Save" button.
Step 4
The third method requires the use of a graphics editor such as Paint or Adobe Photoshop. Launch one of these applications, and then in the Word window, right-click on the desired picture. In the context menu that will then appear, there is an item "Copy" - select it, and the word processor will place the image in the operating system clipboard.
Step 5
Switch to the graphic editor window and paste the picture from the clipboard - press the key combination Ctrl + V. After that, you can use the editor's tools and correct everything that you don't like in the image. When finished with editing, press the key combination Ctrl + S and using the save dialog that appears, write the file with the picture to the desired folder on your computer.
