Yes, but doesn't that render the extracted graphics as .jpgs? I
strongly believe that .jpg is not the best graphic format to use for
technical publications. Everyone's usage may vary and a lot depends
on how the graphics were inserted in the Word doc in the first place,
but .jpgs don't work for me; nor can I edit them. I prefer vector
when possible and when not, I'll save out as .tif. But I don't have
to make that decision if I let Acrobat extract as .eps. Even if the
Word graphics are bitmaps, they don't lose any information when
converted to .eps.

You don't need to convert Word to PDF to extract images. Save the Word
doc as .docx if it's not already, make a copy, change the extension
from .docx to .zip, extract the files, and the images are all in
\word\media.
