Craig,

I don't know how to help you with the import issue, but I'll repeat a 
tip I got from someone else:

To obtain all the original graphics files used in a Word .docx file,
1.  Make a copy of the file.
2. Rename the copy, changing the extension from .docx to .zip.
3. Unzip the file.
4. Locate the Media folder within the unzipped content; it contains all 
the graphics.

Best regards,
