Get Pictures from Word Documents in All Sub Folders

[DocAElstein]

Hi

...I had mentioned in my previous post #17 that I have test the macro both in the file as well is the Normal Template, probably you missed it.

I did not miss it, but I did not know what file you meant by the file . But you cleared that up in post #19, so all was then OK, I understood after post #19.

Did you see and understand my last reply here, post #20 https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post15657 ?
I tried to explain in post #20 that it is bad and stupid to put the macro in that .docx file

You should never put any macro in a _.docx file
You should never put a macro in a particular file if that particular file is closed by that macro. -

.....
If you run a macro that is in a document and that macro closes the document, then nothing can happen after the close because both the document and macro is no longer there.
It is like driving a car on a journey, and on the way, in the middle of the journey, God comes and takes your car and the engine away. So the journey stops

Like this
WORD: [document and start macro running ]
WORD: [document and macro running ]
WORD: [document and macro running - macro closes the document ]
WORD: [ _________________________ ] - all is gone. There is nothing there - no document , no running macro. Macro cannot finish - there is no macro - its gone because you closed it

...... All my files - I mean all docx, xlsx, pptx, jpgs etc etc moved to some where I don't know where.

There is really strange. ......
I have tried looking for it in other folders and I could not find it anywhere in my hard drive.

All the folders are intact but the files have moved to some where I have not idea what so ever.

.....

I have sometime experienced that problem. Sometime that might happen if the place you intended saving is temporarily not available. Sometimes when this happens the files are saved in some default place. Exactly where will be different for every computer.
On my computers they might go somewhere like
C:\Users\Elston\Documents
Or
C:\Windows\System32
Or
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\49.0.2623.112
Those are just some examples

Every computer will be a bit different. ( But it often goes to the same place, so if you do find where, it would be wise to make a note of the path, as I have done )

One way to find w]here this strange place is, is to save something firstly on an external USB stick. Then remove the USB stick and try to save again. Sometime your computer will then try to save in the strange place because it cannot find the correct place, because you removed the correct place.( Foa a particular computer, it often goes to the same place, so if you do find where, it would be wise to make a note of the path )
