  22. Hey thanx for this post. But how to save the picture ?

  23. Many tanx !

  24. In addition to the inevitable thanks, a little feedback. The BEST method (based on my first attempt this morning) is to save the doc as a web page. The folder created will contain a copy of the original photo. By contrast, when I copied the embedded photo into the MS Picture Manager I only got the resized version (the client had inserted an unresized photo and then resized it in the Word doc, and I need the unresized version). The drag to desktop technique doesn’t seem to work on my Vista setup.

    Thanks.

    Best trick:
    WORD is archived (zip) file. Change extension to .zip, open as archive (double click), go to Word->media folder, all images are here in ORIGINAL size, not the display size.
