get inline image file name

[Larry]

I note that when I save a Word .doc file to .xml, the XML holds images
as binary data plus some XML elements. One such element is
<v:imagedata ...>; e.g,

<v:imagedata src="wordml://01000001.gif" o:title="duck"/>

Of interest to me is the fact that the original file name of the image
that was dropped into place is there in the o:title= attribute. Is
there any way, in VBA, for me to get that information without saving
to XML and literally parsing through the file?

Hi Larry,

This is Word 2003 or 2007?

You say *.doc file, so I assume 2003... You could *try* the XML property
of the Range object. But I'm not sure if you have to parse the entire
DocumentObject.Content.XML or whether you can narrow it down.
