How to Copy Pictures From a Word Document & Save As a JPG
Microsoft Word documents often contain embedded images. If you want to extract these images from the document and save them as stand-alone JPG files, you have a few options. You can copy-and-paste the images into the image editor of your choice; you can save the document as an HTML file with an accompanying directory of JPGs; or, if you have Word 2007 or later, you can open the document file with a ZIP archive manager and extract the JPGs directly. The most reliable method is the second -- especially if you want to extract several images -- but all three can be useful.

Select "Web page" from the "Save as type" drop-down menu. Save the document wherever you want. Word will create an HTML file with an accompanying directory containing all of the images in the document. The directory will be named after the document, with a "_files" suffix appended--for example, if you save the document as "report.htm," the images will be placed in a directory called "report_files."
