Pulling images from Microsoft Word Document

[MegMav]

Hi there

I was hoping to find a fix for this. I have noticed when placing a document from Microsoft Word into Indesign all images, when exported to pdf, turn blue. Is there a way around this or do I have to first save all images  from the Word document into a folder and add them as seperate links?

Thank you

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Does adovbe have a customer support where I can ask these types of questions directly and get help? or is this the only place

Is this a DOC or DOCX file? Is it a true Word file or something exported from a different application? Screenshots might help but give this a read to see why if this is a true Word to InDesign workflow everything should be fine:

Thank you so much. I will give this a read.

I get documents form authors so i never know whta they are saving it as but i will have  a look now.

What you're seeing is typical of fake Word docs, especially saved from Google Docs.

Save the Word file as HTML. This will save all images in their original quality and in a smaller size in a subfolder. You can place those image, use sRGB color profile for those images.

Ok thank you I will give that a try.

If it is a docx, you can change the extension to .zip and unzip it. This will give you a folder with the placed media images in it. Same goes for Powerpoint files.

Which is what I pointed out earlier, but the problem is that if it isn't a real Word document, all bets are off.
