How to save a picture, logo, or clip art from a word document?

Have you ever been sent a word document that contained a picture, logo, or clip art that you needed to save to your computer? It might be a picture that you want to use on another document or you might want to save the picture so you can send it through email. People find this puzzling because you cannot just simply save the picture as it is really imbedded into the document itself. Of course there is always a way around this…

Below is an example of a word document that has a logo in it that I might want to save.

How to save a picture, logo, or clipart from a word document to your computer:
