If we want all these photos saved as separate files, MS World does not offer any simple method to make this happen.

The Best Way To Save Images From MS Word Document?

If you need one or few images saved from an MS Word document, you are allowed to right tap on the picture and choose “Save as Picture.” This feature can be accessed in the latest versions of MS Word. But how about if there are two hundred pictures in the document?

The fastest and simplest method of saving all the pictures from a Word document is to get the document saved as a webpage. If you are familiar with HTML programming, you should know that a webpage refers to resources such as pictures saved as individual files. Therefore, when a Word document is saved as webpage, MS Word document is transformed to an HTML page and every embedded picture gets saved in a different folder. This can be used to get pictures out of the Word document.

1. Have the MS Word document containing images opened.
2. Head to File and choose “Save As.”
3. A “Save As” dialog will be visible.
4. Choose Web Page from the “Save As” type list.
5. Tap “Save” to have the document saved as a webpage.
6. Have Windows Explorer opened and browse to the location where you have stored the document as webpage.
7. In this location, you will see a freshly created folder with the exact name as that of the MS Word document. This folder possesses all the pictures that were available in the document. There can be other files too, but you are allowed to shun them.
8. You now have the pictures as files. They can be used or edited individually.
