title: VBA(?) How to extract filename of images linked and inserted - Word 2013
body: <p>We insert and link pictures (insert picture from file .emf) in our Word documents (.docx). Our documents and the graphic files are stored on our network drives. We then provide our documents to the authors to be worked on. The pictures in the documents are useful for the authors.</p>
  
  <p>How do I programmatically and globally (document wise, not batch processing documents): Extract the filename (without the file extension) of the pictures linked and inserted?</p>
  
  <p>We have a tool that exports the Word document .docx to .XML.</p>
  
  <p>Ps: I googled for possible/potential VBA solutions. So far, I gather: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>there’s no way one can be sure / check that the pictures have been linked and inserted properly / correctly in a .docx </li>
  <li>there’s no way to view the source code (? at least I tried Alt+ F9 / Shift+F9) </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Or is macro/ vba not the way to go?</p>
