Many document developers (especially business owners)

fall into circumstances where

large amounts of simple, tedious work needs to be carried out. This includes a

wide range of potential problems but one of

the most prevalent is the need to scour Excel spreadsheets for

images or pictures. This is particularly common when

large spreadsheets of information need to be analyzed

for specific information or pictures. Many contractors or businesses store certain records of images or

pictures as Excel spreadsheets, and while inspecting a

spreadsheet for images or pictures is an easy task, the

repetition and monotony can definitely wear on an

individual.

One technique of <a

href=http://www.hothotsoftware.com/excel-extract-images-and-

extract-pictures-from-multiple-spreadsheets_software/>separating

the images</a> from within an Excel file is to save the Excel

file in an alternate format. This may

be done by first opening the Excel file and then

clicking the 'File' tab on the ribbon bar across the

top of the window. Then, select the 'Save As' button

on the right side of the window. From this point, an

output location will need to be chosen.

After the location is selected, a new window will

appear. There is a drop-down menu titled 'Save

as type'. Here you can chose to save the

file as a web page (.html). The file will be saved in the output location and can be displayed as a

folder. By browsing through the folder you can

find the pictures that were saved within the Excel

spreadsheet.

Another method of picture removal

can be done through general programming. As an Excel file

is technically a compressed file, it can be

uncompressed to reveal its contents. This can be done

by first starting the command prompt

in Windows. This is done by going to the

'Start' button in Windows and entering 'Command Prompt'

into the Search field. After the prompt window appears, type 'unzip file.xlsx'. The extracted information

will then appear in a folder on the computer.

Fortunately, a short visit to

Images and Pictures from Excel Spreadsheets' will

offer up a fantastic piece of software

for extracting pictures and images from Excel

spreadsheets. This software operates

completely within a single window, reducing any

chance of getting confused or lost while using the

software. This window is divided into

both a top and bottom area. The top section is

to enter any Excel files that you want to search through. These files may be put

in individually through the 'Add File(s)' button or the program

can locate a specific file type within a

folder. This means that the program can search

your 'My Documents' folder to uncover any Excel files

that may be saved there. The bottom portion of

the window contains the 'Extract E-mails Addresses!'

button to launch the program.
