import word file containing pictures without the pictures?

[wonderings]

Title feels confusing. I have a book I need to work on. The client supplied a file in Microsoft word, he has embedded pictures in his word file. I want to import all the text and manually insert the photos manually where they go after i have formatted everything. I started going through and just manually deleting the pictures but there is over 300 pages in total and many many pages have pictures. I looked at the import options and did not see anything about ignoring pictures. Is there a setting elsewhere to remove all the photos when importing?

**update**
And of course as soon as I post this and I go back and look at it again there is an option for "inline graphics". I removed the check and it does exactly what I want.
