gongcw:

OK, I now understand what you want. It's not really a perl question at all--it's more of an Excel question. As I understand it, you want to be able to ask excel for the list of pictures in a sheet so you can move them to your word document.

I poked around and found a reference to Excel's object model and briefly looked around in it to find the appropriate collection to use. Unfortunately, I didn't find one explicitly for pictures. However, the OLEObjects collection page shows an example of adding a bitmap to a sheet. So you should be able to access the images through the OLEObjects collection.

The problem is that the OLEObjects collection might contain many odd things in it, and unless you know what the object is, you'll find it difficult to work with. In the OLEObjects collection example, though, it shows adding a gif image like this:

Worksheets(1).OLEObjects.Add FileName:="arcade.gif"

So if you iterate over the OLEObjects and check the FileName property of each object, you might find one with a .BMP extension. Be aware that many objects might not have a FileName property, so when you're checking, don't kill your application just because the FileName property doesn't exist.

If you can determine the OLEObject type of the objects you're interested in, then you'll be able to find more information via google on how to communicate with them. Dig through the Excel Object reference (link above) and you may find some good clues. Failing that, I'd post a question on an Excel guru board.
