Any chance you could send me a copy of the docx file that was causing 
the "Negative" error message please? Either in an email (off-list) or 
put it on a http site somewhere and send me the URL. I would like to see 
what's exactly wrong with my code that pulls out the OleNative objects. 
There's clearly some more bits to the format that my code doesn't quite 
understand.

The current code works okay, but clearly doesn't manage to extract all 
the files it could. So it could be further improved.
