Portable Office Image Extraction Wizard

Text documents can be fitted with all sorts of objects to create presentations or rich pages, and Microsoft's Office suite taught us well throughout the years. Once inside, objects are rather difficult to extract, but there are applications like Portable Office Image Extraction Wizard that want to help you out in this regard.

Just like the name specifies, this is the edition of Office Image Extraction Wizard you can launch on more computers directly from a USB Flash drive. Your PC is not affected in any way, because registries are not tampered with, since target files are simple text documents.

Running it brings up a compact interface and, again, the name properly suggests that the whole experience is wizard-driven. All steps you're taken through are easy to understand by anyone and progressively ask mostly for files and directories, as expected.

You can either go through in a simple or batch mode. The only difference is that the input field becomes a little larger just so you can fit more items. At the press of a button, every image the application grabs is placed in a separate folder for easy identification.

Truth be told, the application is capable of handling an impressive array of document types. These are all enlisted in the source selection screen, with entries like DOC, PPT, XLS, DOT, POT, PPSM, XPS, SLDM, XLTM, ODT, ODP, ODS, SXW, STW, STC, EPUB, FB2, CHM, SWF and a lot more.

The extraction process can take a little while if too many files are selected. Once finished, you can start over with more documents or hit the given link to open the destination folder. Sadly, there are no output options whatsoever, with the result being generated to resemble the original image inside the document, with the same quality, resolution, and format.

To sum it up, Portable Office Image Extraction Wizard might seem like a redundant tool, but using it reveals it's packed with a lot of potential, taking you easily through a few steps at the end of which you find your images. File support is its biggest advantages, and although there aren't any output options, the result most of the time lives up to expectations, making this utility worth a try.
