I keep hearing "We can't do anything with this Word document........" from commercial printers, myself being employed by one and also being the "Manager of Digital Pre-press" I hear this more than you would imagine. I have often said it myself more times than I care to recall. Word is strictly an RGB color program. It does not recognize spot colors (PMS or Hexachrome or others) and does not recognize CMYK, So Printers, you're out of luck!. Well maybe in the color issue, but I found out how to "extract" graphic from Word documents. 
It's like reaching around your back to scratch your elbow but it works.
I'll try to be as to the point as possible, and if anyone out there has an alternative method, I always game
Requirements: InDesign 2.0 (minimum)
1: photos - import the .doc into an InDesign document. select the photo and in the "Links Manager" palette select "unembed" when asked to link to the original say "no". After choosing a folder to place the file, InDesign will create a .tif file that (for some reason Photoshop will not recognize) you can open in Picture Viewer, and "export" as a .tif file to a different location. then open it in Photoshop and tweak it as needed and save as any format as you need.
2. Vector or .WMFs: Same as above to a point: after saving as a .tif file launch a Vector based application (Illustrator comes to mind) and open the file directly. On a Mac the file will open as an Illustrator .ia file (if using Illustrator) and can be manipulated as needed and saved as an .eps file.
I have been doing this successfully for months now with no hassles. If I have helped in any way, then I have achieved my goal: "Share Your Knowledge"
Luck, Sparky
