Regain screenshot from word document

[Achim]

Since MS discontinued the MS Photo Editor, I do not know how to get the
screenshots back out of Word documents.

What I used to do:

1. I made a full screen shot with the print key.
2. I inserted it in a word document.
Word resizes it to only 36% (1600x1050), but any resolution above 1024px
will do for this experiment.
3. Later I marked the picture and "paste as new" in MS Photo Editor. I then
had the original screenshot.

Today:

3. A) I marked the picture and pasted in MS Picture Manager. The picture has
36% of its size like in word and is not readable.
3. B) I resized the picture in Word to 100%, copied and pasted then. The
picture looses its sharpness and is only half the size!

How do I extract a Screenshot from a word document without MS Photo Editor?

Achim

You can try saving the Word doc as an .html file. It will create a folder
with all of the "elements" of the .html file. One of those elements is the
picture.

(No promises about the quality - but it does work.)
