There are also settings in Word's options that will help. See

Hi William,

First, reset the picture scaling to 100% in Word (Format|Picture|Size).
Next, if necessary, change the paper size to a size that whole picture
fits on.
Finally, Save the document as a Web Page.

The picture will be given a name like 'image001.jpg' and will now be in a
sub-folder with a name based on the name of the document (eg if the
document was named MyFile.doc, the folder will be named MyFile_files), in
the folder in which the document was saved.

ENVIRONMENT
Word 2007 SP1. Windows XP SP2.

SCENARIO
I paste a high resolution picture into Word. I shrink the picture to fit
my document. Now I do not have the original, but I need to edit that
picture as a high resolution image. I right-click inside of Word and
click copy. I paste it into a graphics program. The graphic is now low
resolution.

QUESTION
I know Word has the high resolution version of it. I just don't know how
to copy it out. Is there a way?
