Image file name in Word document

In 2016 Office as well as Office 2011 you can do this

Open the Word document and save a copy so you don't clobber your original

E.g. title.docx becomes

title copy.docx

Then rename the title copy.doc to be title copy.zip

then extract that .zip file

You should get several files including a folder called media with the image file(s) in it.

If you select the image file and click get info, you may get what you need.

For instance in an Office calendar template with January

I found the file name image1.jpg along with this info

Keywords: Adults, Businesspeople, Businesswomen, Company executive, Computer, Computer hardware, Cooperation, Females, Group, Half-length, Laptop, Looking, Looking down, Males, Men, Partnership, People, Personal computer, Standing, Teamwork, Women

Description:Business Colleagues Gathered Around Laptop, Smiling --- Image by © Eric Audras/PhotoAlto/Corbis

Headline:Business Colleagues Gathered Around Laptop, Smiling

How about this approach then, Chris.

Take a random document from Word.

E.g. Write a Journal is a Template in there.

Without all the rigamarole I described earlier, do this.

Drag the picture on your desktop. It will just be called Picture1.png

Go to Tineye.

Upload the picture

And you will find out lots of things 🙂

You're welcome!

FWIW, I think that "personal photos" is a wild goose with any of these.

YanDex is the only one of the three that offers up "VERY similar"* or "flipped horizontal" results.

* I have seen results that have the same "picture hanging on the wall"

For the OP...

It is my understanding that Word will rename images inserted - it has been a while since I used MS Word for Mac, but the current Home version under Win 10 allows for "linking" an external file, but does not seem to remember the filename (accessible after the fact) in any "properties" kind of feature. I tried to workaround it in several ways - mainly "Save Image As" does not offer any filename suggestion.

Good luck at MacTopia forums

If you are trying to locate an image file that you inserted from your local drive (a photo or whatever), you might try some app that will do what the websites do on the web on your local drive (never even thought about it before, but top Google result offered some good advice)

file management - Is there a free visual similarity image local hard drive search? - Photography Stack Exchange

Was looking at your profile, CCC and saw reference to the 68040 Quadra 840AV

Just had to run down and pick one up at that time 🙂

Even earlier the Mac SE/30 was no slouch

Yep - tool of the trade...

I got my first "assignment" from my agency representation at American Airlines Training Center near DFW airport converting VHS tapes to QuickTime. The DSP chip was the only reliable (affordable) way to do it at the time. Job paid for the 840AV many times over 😀

Being a QT "evangelist" was a tough sell to 99.9% of companies back then... the AA training QTs became an essential 'portfolio' piece, so that job really paid off in more ways than just that job!

OK

MacTopia forums is the old name Microsoft used for its Mac products area 😉 - I assume that is the "community" to which you refer?

I am guessing that the images in which you were interested were originally FROM the web somewhere then.

Those three websites are the gold standard - if they cannot find a match, it likely is VERY new or VERY private stock.

TinEye has a paid service where they will look for unauthorized image use for you

Chitlin, Chris

Give this a try, create a blank Word document. Drop an image of your choice in it.

Then convert it to HTM.

Then open HTM in Safari using Resource editor.

For example, I had a picture named A mulligan Picture1.png

Dropped it in MS Word.

Converted it to HTM, viewed it via Safari and you see the alt name

<img width=432 height=288 src="Document1d.fld/image002.png" alt="A%20mulligan%20Picture1.png" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_2"><![endif]></span></p>

(Chris, the %20 represent spaces in the file name)

Once an image is added to a Word document, it is anonymized to sequentially numbered images. There is no mapping in the Word document that retains the original image filename, or storage location. The image's camera EXIF data, if present, is not going to provide any filesystem information.

Two other ROBUST reverse image search sites (TinEye has fewer cached, but is generally more informative)
