Hi all,

A .doc file contains an image. Is there any way to extract the image
file in its original format, please?

Open the doc file with OpenOffice, save it as a odt file.
The odt is a renamed zip archive that should contain the image in on of
its subfolders.

Great idea, Sebastian.

The file which is responsible for the size of the .doc is immediately obvious when I rename this document.odt to document.zip.

It is a 2meg file, but unfortunately, as Mick appears to have predicted, it is called simply "Object 1" with no file extension.

Running `file` on it shows it to be a "Microsoft Office Document", but it's apparently not the kind you can open in Word.

I suspect this is going to prove a dead loss. Thanks for your help, though.

Stroller.
