Save Embedded Files EnMass

[akrshaw]

We have a client that sent us an RFP with many embedded files....

Any ideas how to extract them without having to open - rename - save each individual file?

Thanks so much!~

not familiar with RFP. Is that a file extension? I so which program uses it?

Also how is it sent to you?

Sorry, our client issued a word document with many excel and word files embedded in it.

I am trying to figure out how to get them out easily without having to rename and save every file?

Thanks!~

I'm not much help with Word intricacies. Maybe someone else has an idea?

Even if there's not some sort of built-in Word feature that will do this, I'm fairly confident there would be a VBA scripting solution.

Open the document then do a Save As > Web Page (htm). (Don't save as Web Page (filtered) or as a Web Archive (mht).

You'll get a <docname>.htm file and a folder labeled <docname>_files. Inside that you'll have a XML list of the embedded files and all the embedded graphics. You might get two copies of each pic: the original image and the resized version if it was resized inside Word.

Gruuuu: RFP usually means "Request For Proposal".

Jeff -

I did that and it gave me all the documents as jpgs instead of the document?

You are correct on the Request for Proposal!~

RFP

Unless the context makes the acronym crystal clear, I almost always ask what an acronym stands for. Even if I have a pretty good idea of what the person is talking about. In this case I didn't.

What kind of embedded files are we talking about? The way they embedded them may have converted them to images. If the file is a docx you might be able to directly access the items via an archiver:
