This is a great hint! Works with Powerpoint->Keynote, too.
When one embeds a PDF figure into Word or Powerpoint, it get bitmapped. BAD! Unfortunately, Pages and Keynote receive these as PNG files, so the vector objects are lost. Darn. This would have made my day.

The other annoyance I've found with Word and PDFs is that it seems to sometimes decide that transparency in a PDF should be rendered as black. Very irratating!

I have found that FileJuicer (http://echoone.com/filejuicer/) is a useful tool in the same situations. Not only does it work with word doc files, but will attempt to extract varied media(audio, video, text, and imags) from most common file types. Best of all, it is only a $9 shareware fee instead of the $79 cost of iWork (unless you already have it).

Hope this helps,

For raster images (at least) you can also use Copy -> Paste.
Click on the image you're after in the Word File; File>Copy; switch to Photoshop (or whatever): File>New... [Photoshop defaults to size, resolution colour space etc of the Clipboard]; Paste.
[Usually] works a treat.

When using the copy and paste method from Word to Photoshop, you should double-click the image and under the size tab, click Reset. This will bring the pic back to it's original import size, then copy and paste into Photoshop. Obviously we all want clients to send us the high quality originals first time though!

Applicability

Issue

After opening a previously saved Word file containing MathType equations, you discover all or some of the MathType objects have become non-editable 'pictures.' This is associated with the Auto-recovery function in Word. We know this is a Word bug because the issue is not limited to MathType, and happens with other 'embedded objects', such as Excel charts. Further, there is normally no way to return the equations to editable condition.

Symptoms

1. Attempting to edit an equation by double-clicking it will bring up the Picture Format tab instead of opening MathType.
2. Copying and pasting the equation into a MathType window results in the error 'The Clipboard contains no equation data'.
3. The 8 resizing handles around the equation have a different appearance:

Prevention

Microsoft recommends turning off Auto-recovery in Word. Note, however, this is a prevention step and will not repair equations that have already become non-editable pictures. The steps to disable Auto-recovery are different for each version of Word whether on the Macintosh or on the Windows platforms. Simply look for the 'Save' preferences for your version of Word and remove the check mark from 'Save Auto-recovery data every x minutes.'

Solutions

In many cases, the equations will display and print correctly. If you don't need to edit the equations, it is possible to simply leave them as they are. If you only need to edit a small number of equations, it may be more expedient to delete those equations and recreate them in MathType.

It's rare, but in some cases it may be possible to recover the equations by running the Convert Equations command within Word:

1. Open the document in Word and save it as an RTF (Rich text format) document.
2. From the MathType menu (or Tab), choose Convert Equations.
3. Choose the following settings in the Convert Equations dialog: under 'Equation Types to Convert', select (as a minimum) 'MathType or Equation Editor Equations' and 'Microsoft Word EQ Fields'. Set the Range to 'Whole Document'.
4. Under 'Convert equations to' select 'MathType equations (OLE objects)'.
5. Click the 'Convert' button to start the conversion process.
6. When the conversion is complete, a dialog will appear confirming the number of equations converted.
7. Save the document from Word as either a .doc or .docx file. (As it pertains to this issue, .doc seems to be more stable than .docx.)
8. The document and hopefully all equations might be editable now using any version of Word along with MathType. Note sometimes this conversion method cannot recover all equations in a document. If this is the case, equations will have to be re-created and there is nothing MathType can do to auto-recover them.
