In case you're using Windows you could consider using KodakImaging (which is a built-in feature with most Windows versions).
With KodakImaging you're able to get more than pic in one time from a Word-file. It handles .jpg-, .bmp-, .pzp- and .tiff-files.
Check with what file-format the pics were in the Word-file; get them with KodakImaging and save or convert them into .jpg-file in MyPictures.
