How to drag a picture from MS Word

Customers sometimes send photos and descriptions of their products for a design layout in a Word file. Here I will describe how to safely import raster images from Word into Photoshop .

The very first solution that comes to mind is that copying to the Windows buffer and inserting it into Photoshop often gives an unpredictable result (image reduction, quality loss, resetting the color depth to 256 colors, etc.), and inconvenient if there are a lot of pictures. This method is suitable if the photo is initially of poor quality. Then it is better in the “Image Settings” in the Word to do “Reset the drawing parameters” and copy after that.

If the document is saved as html , then a folder will be created in “% filename% files” in which there are two pictures each: in the original size and resize.

But the best result can be obtained if the vod file in docx format ( Office Open XML ). Just rename docx to zip and unpack it. We get xml files and source images in formats that were imported to the Word. So I managed to get puff tif with alpha channels.
The same method works with poverpoint.

I do not publish exotic methods like "printscreen" and hemorrhoid types of import to Corel.
