copy a picture out of word with full resolution?

ENVIRONMENT
Word 2007 SP1. Windows XP SP2.

SCENARIO
I paste a high resolution picture into Word. I shrink the picture to fit my
document. Now I do not have the original, but I need to edit that picture as
a high resolution image. I right-click inside of Word and click copy. I
paste it into a graphics program. The graphic is now low resolution.

QUESTION
I know Word has the high resolution version of it. I just don't know how to
copy it out. Is there a way?

Please don't post the same question multiple times in different NGs - post the one question to the desired NGs simultaneously
instead.
