Embedded Sound File

[Ray Lj]

How do I isolate and save a sound file that is embedded in
a Word document? The document has a "speaker" icon and when
you click on it, a sound file plays. I want to isolate or
extract that file and save it as a separate wave file.

Anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Ray Lj

Hi Ray,

You could try saving as a web page. That will often extract
embedded objects to separate files in a sub folder to the
*htm file that contains the text.

The only other possibility I know of would be to use
something like C++ to extract the binary data from the text
stream.

THANKS for the valiant attempt to help Cindy, but no such
luck. All I got was the icon in a .jpg file and in a .png
file, and some other stuff that didn't look like it was
related to an "audio" type file.

Guess I'm out of luck.

The obvious has been overlooked. Use the Windows sound recorder to record
the clip while it is played. If the clip is too long for the sound recorder,
then download some software to do the job -
