Word 2010--Finding Picture Names
Suppose I have a file named anyfile.jpg, and I insert it into a Word
doc. How do I find the name of the file if I need it somewhere else? 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. |

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. 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. And I don't know of a quick way to do a "content search" on your hard drive to find the image. There are tools that can make thumbnail views of the images on your hard drive. But I wasn't able to find a tool immediately, that would compute the correlation between a sample image (copied out of the document), and all the other images on your hard drive. I presume such a thing exists, but I don't know good search terms to find it. Paul |

I think I had created a doc that was unnecessarily large because I had so many large pics in it. As I vaguely recall, it possibly listed the file names that were in folders where I got them from. |

Let's see if I can clarify this. Suppose I write a doc file with
pictures in it. Years or months later I've forgotten the names of the files. I want to go to the doc and find out the names of the files I used. If I can find the names, then I can search my PC to find them. In my case, the pictures were reduced in size when I placed them in the doc. Hopefully, I can find the full sized files on my PC. |

What I saw (in Word 2003) in a "Testing image.doc" file when opening the script editor was: v:imagedata src="Testing%20image_files/image001.jpg" o:title="Iceberg"/ The original filename that got inserted into the .doc file was called Iceberg.jpg. Of course, with the extension stripped off, you won't know later if it was a .jpg, .bmp, .png, or other image filetype. Obviously if you rename, delete, or move the external file it will have no effect on the content of the .doc file. There's no physical linkage between the image that is encoded within the .doc file and the source file for the image. |

Not a bad idea, but there are 19,072. However, I know the year, so restricting the period I took it could be helpful. Ha. The very first one listed of 852 was the file. I took a six month period. Even found others similar to it I had taken. |
