Word Embedded Object Extractor

Lists every media file and embedded OLE object — like a spreadsheet or another document pasted in — inside a .docx file.

Why it exists

Seeing what's actually embedded in a Word document before extracting or forwarding it, including catching an object that's itself a legacy-format document with its own properties.

How to use it

Drop a .docx file. Every media file and embedded object appears immediately, with a peek at an embedded object's own document properties when it has any.

Good to know

An embedded object is often itself a small document in the legacy Compound File Binary format — when it is, this tool also shows that inner document's own properties, reusing the same reader as the Legacy .doc/.xls Metadata Viewer.
