Right now I'm in that situation. I cannot find the file in Word, so
that I can find what folder it's in outside of Word.

Either there's a reference to it inside the file, or there isn't.
A search with a hex editor (or any other forensic tool you happen
to have), should tell you whether the filename is there or not.



Open the MS script editor (Alt+Shift+F11) within Word

Images can either be "copied into" a file, or the file can contain
a "link" to the image stored elsewhere on the computer. If an image
is copied into a document, there is no longer a need to keep filename
information about it. Doing so would be purely optional. And that
could be why there is no filename present inside your document right
now - the image is already a copy.


If inserted, the image will be renamed to something like image001.jpg.
Right after the reference to the new number and name, the original will
be listed with something like o:title="anything"/
This will be the original file without the extension.


Alt-Shift-F11 did nothing. I used it with the cursor amongst text and on
the picture.
