OK guys, I got the problem solved. Here’s the code snippet:

        private void SaveToImage(Word.InlineShape picShape, string filePath)     {         picShape.Select();         theApp.Selection.CopyAsPicture();         IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();         if (data.GetDataPresent(typeof(Bitmap)))         {             Bitmap image = (Bitmap)data.GetData(typeof(Bitmap));             image.Save(filePath);         }     } 

Hope it helps 🙂
