Extract pictures from Word documents via Pages
Mar 28, '06 05:53:00AM • Contributed by: zpjet
I occasionally receive a MS Word document with embedded pictures which I'm supposed to use further. Once when this happened, there was no time to ask for the original pictures. So I opened the Word document in Pages, saved it as a Pages file, and switched back to the Finder. I then Control-clicked the new Pages document, and chose Show Package Contents from the contextualo menu.
No big surprise, but the pictures are there in their original resolution, uncropped, with no color shifts. I had tried it several times before, using Word's "Save Picture As..." command, or PDF exports, but this solution was just what I wanted. Thumbs up, iWork! If only you had that spreadsheet now!
