*[Problem][Solved] How to copy image from *.chm file (Compiled HTML Help)

Someone asked me on how to copy an image from a *.chm file or a Compiled HTML Help file. Because, if we were to copy it directly from the chm file and paste it to Microsoft World for example, will end-up with a blank rectangle.

Well after some attempt, i finally manged to copy it directly to MS Word from chm file. :)

Here how it works.

Open the target chm file to copy image from
Right click the targeted picture and copy
Now, open the MS Word and press the small down pointed arrow *like in the picture below
Click "Paste Special"
Done!
*Paste Special

Sorry to say that this procedure does not work, the results are same as before. After clicking on paste special button a paste special dialogue box appears and using all options contained therein, we still do not get results. we end-up with a blank rectangle.

From the special dialog box the option that worked for us was "Device Independent Bitmap"
