drag image from word to indesign

Hi Renee, you can try Peter Kahrel’s script to “unembed” images and create a link. the script can be downloaded here: https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/unembed_images.html
If you need help to install a script read this: https://creativepro.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign/

THis is the same as pasting the image into InDesign. THere is no file so there is nothing to link to.

You can duplicate the Word file, change the extension to.zip, then unzip it. Any imaages in the Word file will be in the decompressed archive.
