    Read binaries of objects inserted into a Word document

    Following types of objects can be inserted into Microsoft Word Document
    1. Adobe Acrobat Document
    2. Bitmap Image
    3. Media Clip
    4. MS Office Excel Worksheet
    5. MS Office Word Document

    When objects of above types are inserted into a Word Document, binaries for inserted objects are stored in "embeddeings" folder inside the package for Word document.

    I want to write an application which will read binaries of objects inserted into a Word document while the document is open using Word Object Model and IDataObject interface. The object can be of any type from the above mentioned types.
    e.g. If I insert a Adobe Acrobat Document i.e. PDF in a Word document, I want to read inserted PDF document and save it into some other package while the Word document is open.

    Can someone tell me how to accomplish this or where will I get the required information to implement this task?

    Thanks,
    Prasad
