There is no way to do it directly if the image is placed as an embedded
object rather than linked as a file (Insert Object Create from File and
Link to file). For one way around, have a look at Graham Mayor's www pages- http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm
Another method is to highlight the image as for editing and "Copy" it. Next,
open MS Paint or similar [program and "Paste" it into a new document. Then,
"Save as" any format allowed using whatever legal name you want.
