It's possible but tricky. The only way I would know to do this is to add apache POI into your project: > **[Apache POI™ - the Java API for Microsoft Documents](https://poi.apache.org/)** Then use the api to pull images. You can use AI for assistance if you want to try it. I'd recommend trying in a development gateway first! ---
