Note that there's no particular reason why you need to make a copy of the file and change the extension. If you launch WinZip and choose Open, the dialog you see will display all file types (including .docx, .docm, and .dotx) by default. In other words, you can open the Word file directly from WinZip and then extract any of the content contained within the normally hidden folder structure. Extracting the graphics from the Word file does not change the contents of the Word file in any way. You'd have to explicitly delete (or add) files using the WinZip UI to change the file from Word's perspective; "extract files" is a completely non-destructive operation. -Fred Ridder

Uncompress the zip and the graphics (Word optimized and originals) will all be in a media folder. (This works for PowerPoint 2007 too.) I have not tried taking a Word 2003 file and saving it as 2007 to process this way, so I don't know if it will work or not."

Can anyone help me with this technique? We are converting a number of art-rich Word docs into our Frame templates and would very much like to have this technique in hand. Thanks in advance.
