How do I convert a photo embedded in a Word document into JPEG?

Select it and copy it and past it into a graphics application. I think if
you save the document as a webpage (in 2003 and prior versions) it will save
it as a bitmap. But if it must be a jpg -- then you'll need to work through
a graphics application.

MS Paint will do it -- but it may degrade the quality of the image --
especially if it is of photographic quality in the Word document. You may
have better luck with something like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.

I had better luck saving as a webpage -- in one case it actually saved it as
a jpg. Hope this gives you something to at least try!

If you just happen to have full Acrobat, you can do an excellent extraction
-- even remove any nonlinear resizing. Just make a PDF of the file, then in
Acrobat right-click the image "edit" the object. It will open in some
graphics app, and you can save as a JPEG in it's correctly sized state.
