Per MS .docx, .xlsx and .ppsx are XLM based files. MS offers a free  
converter.

If it is a .docx (.xlsx, .pptx) file then it is a zip file. Rename it
to such and open it and you will see the files inside.

MS stuff

2009-01-09 Thread Ted Treen
Hi All,

Apologies if this is considered to be off-topic by the mods.

I frequently get emails at work (on  Windows XP system) which have, as 
attachments, MS Word (or sometimes Excel) docs which have an amusing Flash 
animation embedded in them.

I can force them to open with BBEdit, look for a file title in the gibberish & 
then google for it - if I find one - but I'd prefer to just extract the 
.,swf/.flv (on the PC, if necessary) and save as a stand-alone file.

Anyone know how to extract the Flash video?

Thanks

Ted
