Hi all, |

A .doc file contains an image. Is there any way to extract the image |
| 4 |
file in its original format, please? |

This may seem like a bit of an odd request, so I'll explain. The .doc |
| 7 |
file is quite large, and it seems like the image it contains must be |
| 8 |
to blame. I would like to extract the original file of the image and |
| 9 |
examine it. I have tried in OpenOffice on Windows and Word for Mac. In |
| 10 |
OpenOffice I can't see any way to save the image file, in Word for Mac |
| 11 |
I can drag the file to the desktop but it becomes a "Picture |
| 12 |
clipping.pictClipping" and is clearly not the original format. |
| 13 |
|

I tried running `photorec` on the .doc file, but that just "finds" |
| 15 |
the .doc file itself. I thought to use dd to zero over the first few |
| 16 |
bytes of the .doc - maybe this would make the .doc unrecognisable to |
| 17 |
photorec, and then photorec would maybe find the image file inside the |
| 18 |
corrupt document, but I haven't tried that yet. I'm not sure if it'd |
| 19 |
work, and so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew of an easy |
| 20 |
way to do this first. |

TIA for any suggestions, |
