My work doing layout and design for some courses at the College of Medicine involves a lot of digital publishing: moving materials (text and images) from one format (Word) to another (iBooks, epubs, websites).
Copying and pasting images from the original document, however, can leave you with a downsampled (pixelly! 😲) version. Also, depending on where you want to use the image, it may require the extra step of saving the image in Photoshop or Preview as a separate file. It’s not a problem with a handful of images, but it’s far too inefficient when there are more than that.
To the rescue: Save as HTML
- With your file open in Microsoft Word, go to Save As.
- Under File Format, choose Web Page (.htm), then click Save.
- Go to the file in your Finder, and you will see that a new folder has been created with the same name as your original Word document. Inside that folder, voilà! a nice numbered list of the image files in your document.
