Import pictures from word document to CD X6

I don't "import" them. Open with MS Word first, then select all/copy and then in Corel go edit "paste special" and choose "device independent bitmap"

If they will not import direct from word to X6, you can try saving or printing from word to PDF and then import the PDF.

import a bunch of pictures from Word into CD

If it is a *.docx file you can change the docx extension to zip and then open it with windows file explorer and in the directory Word>Media you will find all the pictures in their original format.

DOCX files are really just ZIP files same as Corel Draw.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,
Thanks to everyone to show me different methods to import doc into CD. Out of these, I find your approach is effective, since there is lots of pictures in the doc file to be transferred to CorelDraw.
I need your help to understand the following steps:
1. Change docx to zip – Can I just change the extension from docx to zip ?
2. Open it with windows file explorer and in the directory word>Media, all pictures will be there in original format – When I opened the doc file by double clicking, it opens it in the word program. I must be definitely making a mistake in this step.
Thanks all who are helping us through Forum.

You can do that. But if you have to do this regularly, I suggest you get the program 7zip from http://www.7-zip.org/

With that installed, you can right click on any compressed file and open it like a zip, without needing to change the filename first. Once you have done that, you can just go to the media > word folder and drag the images into CorelDraw -- the same as you could have done in windows explorer, but without having to rename the file first (and having to remember to rename it back afterwards).

That bit will only work if you rename the file extension to zip first.
