The easiest way to extract images from a Microsoft Word document (ms word *.doc files) is the following:

• Open the file with Microsoft Word
• Select File -> Save as ->
• Change the Save as type of file (it is just below the filename) to Web Page (*.htm,*.html)
• Press Save
• You will notice that a new folder has been created inside the folder in which you saved your file called filename_files, where filename is the name of your document. If you browse this folder, you can find all the documents images.

You have a word document, you check its print preview and you see some images, but when you try to print, you just get some black boxes instead of images.

In order to be able to print this document go to :

Tools -> Options -> Print  and make sure that Drawing objects is ticked (it is in the section: Include with document)

Tools ->Options->View and make sure that Picture Placeholders is not ticked (it is in the show section)

If you want to print the background colors and images as well:

Tools -> Options -> Print  and make sure that Background colors and Images is ticked (it is in the section: Include with document)
