Saving images from MS Word 2007

What's the easiest way to save images that are in an MS Word 2007 file?  Word 2007 changed the file format from .doc to .docx, which is really just a zip file (Like Java jar files).  Just change the file extension from .docx to .zip and then extract it with any Zip program (like Winzip).  Inside the extracted directory there is a sub-directory with all the graphics in the file along with XML files that describe the document.
