First of all, there is a very small error in the image conversion script.

The loop header for image_name, image_path in images_to_convert needs to be replaced with for image_name, image_path in images_to_convert.items(): else python throws an error. For this I will create a pull, but there is a more important issue with image conversion.

Unlucky for us the word documents include EMF files, which are non-universal and quite a bad choice for documentation purposes. This a proprietary file format from microsoft and is not an image per se, but rather as the name suggests, it is a meta file. It is a set of instructions as to how to construct an image.

We are doing the right thing by converting these into the universal png format. But here, the conversion requires the use of libraries that are to the best of my knowledge limited to windows only. Under other computer operating systems such as Mac OS or GNU/Linux or Chrome OS, opening a EMF file in python will result in the following error:
no decode delegate for this image format `EMF'.

Viewing the images works fine on these OS'es, but working with them is quite the hastle, which includes opening them in python. On these operating systems, there are ways to manually do the conversion from emf to png. There are several third party tools and libraries that work on Mac OS and Linux that I have tested.

I suggest the following changes:

• Mention these limitations in the readme and provide instructions as to how to address these issues manually when needed.

I am going to create a pull request. If you would like to address this in another way please let me know. Waiting for feedback before creating the pull.
