  5. If you get a warning about formatting just ignore it and click Yes. Note: you won’t be altering the original document, just copying the pictures from it.

  6. Now go to the folder that you specified in step #3 above. All of the pictures will be there! Note: you can delete the .html file that will also be in the same folder.
