extract image from word file

Question

I have been trying the following C# code to extract image from the doc file but it is not working:

object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;            
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oDoc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();
            oWord.Visible = false;
            object str1 = "C:\\doc.doc";
            oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(ref str1, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

            if (oDoc.InlineShapes.Count > 0)            {


                for (int j = 0; j < oDoc.InlineShapes.Count; j++)
                {  

                    oWord.ActiveDocument.Select();
                    oDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.CopyAsPicture();

                    IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();                    

                    if (data.GetDataPresent(typeof(System.Drawing.Bitmap)))
                    {
                        object bm = data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap);

                        Bitmap bmp;
                        bmp = (Bitmap)data.GetData(typeof(System.Drawing.Bitmap));

                        bmp.Save("C:\\test.bmp");
                    }



                }

Can anybody give the proper code for extracting the image from word file?
