batch save graphics (save as graphic) that are embedded in a word document using VBA
Dear Experts:
I got a single 3 column word table in the current word document spanning over several pages. It has the following make-up:
I wonder whether a macro could achieve the following actions:
... Save all the graphics (located in column 3) in the same folder where the current document resides ...
... with the file names taken from the corresponding article number,
... i.e the following PNG or JPG files would be created when running the macro:
84-415-30-04.png,
84-415-33-04.png,
84-415-34-04.png
I wonder whether thIs is feasible?
I have attached a sample file for your convenience.
Help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Regards, Andreas

Hi Ejgil,
wow, just had a look at the VBA code, really impressive. I was just wondering ... saving as png, would that also be possible?

Ejgil: again thank you very much for your superb help, this saves me lots of time :-)
Graham: for the first time I only award you very few points. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your insight into this problem, should it be tackled purely with word. for windows.

thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. I was suspecting this ...
I know this trick ... saving it as html. I will give this a try with this file although I have tried it several times on other occassions and it was kind of a mess to match everything up. Anyhow, I will check now what Ejgil Hedegaard suggests.
Thank you very much for your great help, Graham, I really appreciate it.
