Embedded Files In Microsoft Office Word , PowerPoint, Excel.

[muskkate]

Hello,
I am trying to identify and save the Embedded files in
Microsoft Office word, PowerPoint, Excel. I have come to know that, Any If we
embedded any file in any Word, PowerPoint, Excel then, what we see in
PowerPoint is a Enhanced Metafile or Windows Metafile (WMF) (or on Mac, PICT)
picture of the actual object.
So I want to identify such EMF or WMF picture and save it
seperately by passing the same generate PDF of it. all I want to do it
programatically. I want to see all those contents in the Embedded File in PDF
format.
Is there any one who can help me out.
Thanking You in advance

Regards,
muskkate

In PPT, you could

create a second blank presentation

iterate the shapes collection, testing each shape to see if it's an embedded OLE
object.

If so, copy/paste it into a blank slide in the second presentation and size it
as needed.

You'll actually get the OLE object, not a WMF/EMF in the second presentation,
but what'll print is the WMF representation of the OLE content, so for your
purposes, the result will be the same as getting the WMF.

Hi

Steve Rindsberg,

Thank you for your reply. I can identify the OLEEmbedded or
OLELinked object in PowerPoint, Word and Excel. But I want to extract those
embedded files explicitly and save it in there original file type in another
directory with there original name and then generate PDF out of it, which I
am not able to do. So, I came to know All such PowerPoint, Word and Excel
files show the embedded files in EMF format which if I can extract and save.

Is There any solution for the same??

Please help me

The original file name is likely not preserved when a document is embedded.
