You might see http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm for
recommendations on preserving as high resolution as possible when extracting
using a Web page.

From an everyday, ease of use standpoint (which is also documented in
Suzanne's link), pasting into PowerPoint and then Right-click > Save As
Picture... is the most efficient way for saving individual photos in a
variety of formats. This is the method I use on a daily basis, even though I
have professional graphics programs. Sometime, taking into PhotoShop
corrupts the file.

One bug I was able to replicate fairly consistently with this process was
with MOS XP. If you had an image copied onto your clipboard before you
opened PowerPoint, it would paste a mini icon when you tried to paste the
photo. You could then go back and copy the photo again and all would paste
properly. I have not experienced this with 2003/2007.

If you just happen to have full Acrobat, you can do an excellent extraction
-- even remove any nonlinear resizing. Just make a PDF of the file, then in
Acrobat right-click the image "edit" the object. It will open in some
graphics app, and you can save as a JPEG in it's correctly sized state.
