Hi Newsgroupies!
We have a task that requires us to export embedded objects in Word
documents -- export them to their native file formats.
Imagine a bunch of Excel- and Visio-embeds that live in a bunch of Word
documents as an example. We need to save the .xls and .vsd files from the
embedded objects.
Is there a way to save the embedded objects out to files without activating
them in-places and using the native-application's automation functionality?
I seem to remember something about OLE Streams containing such embeds. It
seems like all of the info needed to create a file would be written in these
streams.
My fear is that automating Excel/Visio on top of automating the search
through the Word documents is going to suck performance-wise.
Any tips or suggestions will be much appreciated!
