Make-work, effectively.

BUT, that's just my $.02.

Well I wanted to created a macro because when I convert lots of .doc documents with pictures it's really annoying to choose the path every time I want to save picture.
I do it like this: get a .doc document containing book itself and cover picture. I save the picture so I can later use it as cover picture in calibre and then use a macro that saves the document as .rtf. Rtf documents then upload to calibre, convert to epub and add the extracted cover picture. And the process of extracting picturec takes the longest time. And since I have a lot of books in .doc (Perry Rhodan series) it takes a lot of time.
So there is really no way of using macros to save pictures from document? Or is there any better way to do what I described earlier? I learned it myself so it's probably not the fastest way or the smartest way but it worked so far for me.
