I: Hi Jan, i need to put your logo in the layout on main page. Without it i can't upload the apk. Can you send me it please?
Jan: Yes, sure. Give me 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes i got an email.

Attachment: logo.docx <--------------------- DOCX

The end

I can almost bet she isn't blonde!
She sent you a stationary paper sampling knowing you would find a way to retrieve the image and use it...
I bet she's a redhead!

I create a lot of Crystal Reports lay-out's for our customers.
You can't believe how often I've gotten mails with .doc(x) or even mails like:

Hi,
You can find our logo in my signature.

which are always too small and crappy quality

Well this is part of my job i.e. to receive doc/docx files when all I need is an image.
How hard it is for "them" to send the image directly instead pasting the same in word, saving the file and then sending to me !! Beats me.

Anyway I found the solution. I save the docx as "web". Find the required image in the folder. I am happy

Regards,

Anand

This case it's a bit different, because i need the .ps file of logo, but usually is the same

My short story.

A developer could not find work, knocked many doors but no results. Until one day he was in an office for a simple job.

He was given a list of names and one after the other had to put them in the computer. For every name you inserted, a "WAIT" message appeared and after a few seconds "OK. You can enter another name".

After a few days she wondered what that work was for. So he asked his colleagues and could not answer, he asked him to his boss, who told him "you just have to do what you paid for !!" But he did not give up and keep asking.

One day in that list appeared his name. And he hurried to get to his name and see what was happening. I skipped lunch because there were still ten names before her.

When he finally typed his name he was happy. He waited for a few moments, but for him it seemed like endless minutes. the "WAIT" message on the screen reads it dozens of times. Until suddenly I opened the door, and two armed men made fire on him. One of the two clicks a button on his smarphone .. and immediately appeared on the pc screen "OK. You can enter another name"

This happened to me, many moons ago:

- Me: Hello, how can I help you?
- Caller: Yes I'm having a problem with my PC
- Me: Ok, what seems to be the problem?
- Caller: Some of the little houses on my screen disappeared
- Me: hmm...little houses?
- Caller: Yes the little houses, I'm missing a couple
- Me: Ok, how do you usually use those houses?
- Caller: well..umm, I click on them and open things
- Me: Ok, some of your SHORTCUTS disappeared
- Caller: That's how you call them?
- Me: <fixed the problem>
- Me: Have a nice day.

M$ came to the resque and you can now (since Office 2007?) save the image out of the word file
