Taking Images Out of Word XP

[Dalton]

I am a web and graphic designer that is sent images in
many different formats for the work I do. Many times,
folks send me an image that is imbedded in a Word doc.
If I simply cut and paste the image into Photoshop, it
becomes a very, very low-res image with the colors quite
distorted.

For example, I have a Word doc right now that someone
sent me that has a filesize of over 13MB. But other than
the picture, there is only a few lines of text....leaving
me to believe the image is hi-res at around 12.5 or 13MB.

Anyone know how I can retrieve the image from the file in
its original form?

Thanks!
