Getting Pictures Out of Microsoft Word<\/h3>\n

When working with other people’s documents, you may wonder if there is a way to move graphic images out of the document and into their own files. There are actually several different ways you can accomplish this.<\/p>\n

First, if you have a graphics program on your computer, you can simply copy the files from Word to the graphics program. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Load the document that contains the graphics images.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Start your graphics program.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> In Word, click once on the graphic you want saved in a file. Small squares (handles) should appear around the graphic, and the Picture toolbar may also appear.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Press Ctrl+C. This copies the graphic to the Clipboard.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Use the controls in the graphics program to save the graphic as you desire.<\/p>\n
