Have you ever tried for extracting the images from any word document, either from a .docx or a .doc file?

Well, that’s very easy and here is the procedure to do that,

Extracting images from a .docx file :

The .docx format files are XML-based files and uses XML in the background to organize and store the data

The .docx file format was introduced by Microsoft with its product Office 2007. Basically this format is just like the .zip format file, and hence you can extract its contents just like a .zip file, and get the images out – from that extracted content.

In short, just rename .docx file extension to .zip after making the copy of original file. If you are not able to see the extension after that word file, then you will have to make the file extensions visible.

Then extract this zip file to a folder.

Open that folder, and you’ll see that all the images from the .docx file are placed in Word > Media folder.

Coming onto the image extraction for .doc file :

Well, there are 3 methods for extracting the images from .doc documents. All of them are quite easy, however you should use the 1st method if you have got the requirement for extracting just 1 or 2 images from that document.

But if you have multiple images to be extracted, then the 2nd and 3rd methods would be much easier.

Procedure 1 : Launch MS Word by Opening that .doc file(s). Now click onto the resize button (the resize button is placed in middle of Word Window’s top right corner), and drag and drop the image to an folder or somewhere else in the PC, to copy the image in that folder/place. Select Yes if you get some Active Dialog Desktop box(s), and the image will get saved there.

Procedure 2 : After opening the Word document, visit File > Save As, and choose HTML Document as Save As type section.

Now save that document to HTML format, if you get some warning like all the formatting will be lost and so on, ignore that & save the file as HTML.

Then go to the folder where you have saved the files as html. You will get all images which were there in that Word document.

Procedure 3 : If you have Microsoft Office 2007 or greater installed on your computer, then save the .doc as .docx and use the procedure for extracting images from .docx file as mentioned above.

Enjoy!

Most of the times, there is a need to create the disc image file or an ISO file from the contents of CD/DVD or of a folder. Here is an easy procedure to convert a folder to a disc image file or an ISO file.

Just download a free software / tool named Folder2ISO. There will be no need to install it, it’s portable. To run the software, just double-clicking on that. Select the folder which you want to convert to an ISO format file. Then hit the Select Output option / button and fill out the name of the resulting ISO file. Now, click on Generate ISO button.

You will get an ISO file from the folder within a few seconds or depending upon your computer’s hardware configuration and folder/CD/DVD space.

Your processor must support the Virtualization, if you want to install and run any OS by using VMware or some other virtualization software.

Checking Virtualization on Intel Processors : If you are having a computer with Intel processor equipped in it, then you can install the Intel Processor Identification / Compatibility Checking Program to check whether your Intel processor supports virtualization or not. Now run that and accept the EULA. You will come to know about your processor inner details thereafter.

You can particularly look for the virtualization support in the results page of the Intel Virtualization Technology support.

Checking Virtualization on AMD Processor : Well, If you do have a computer system with AMD processor equipped in it, then you can choose to install the AMD VT Identification / Compatibility Checking Program to check whether your system supports the virtualization or not.

Rest Processors: If you do have the computer system with some other processor equipped in it, then install the Microsoft Hardware Virtualization Detection Program. Microsoft Hardware Virtualization Detection Program is a nice virtualization detection utility which also works with AMD and Intel processors. you will have to run the utility and the results come in front of you.

If hardware virtualization is supported by your processor and enabled in BIOS, then this below message would be displayed,

If you processor supports the virtualization system, but its disabled from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), then following example will be displayed.

But, if your processor doesn’t support virtualization system, then it will display the following,

If still any problems persists, you can use the comment form provided below.
