Subject: extracting Word embedded images
What are the options for converting images embedded in a Word 2007 doc
(created by pasting a Print Screen capture) to bitmaps in the original
screen resolution for use in FrameMaker or whatever?
Saving the Word doc as HTML creates a full-resolution PNG file for each
image. The file names are just numbered sequentially (image001.png
etc.), which isn't ideal for a long document with lots of images.
If I copy and paste into Paint, PhotoShop, or PhotoScape, I get a
reduced-resolution image with munged and unreadable text. Same if copy,
open Clipoard Viewer, and select a bitmap format.
I can paste the unconverted WMF into FrameMaker, and it's fine on screen
and in PDF output, but when I generate HTML with MIF2Go I get the same
reduced-resolution bitmap.
