Thanks to all those who responded to my request about extracting R plots from MS Word. I decided to try Gabor Grothendieck's second suggestion and saved the Word document as html. (I may yet try some of the other suggestions.)
Saving the .doc as .htm indeed produced a folder with many of the images in .gif form. However some of my images seemed to be described by files with .wmz or .emz extensions. I am not quite sure how to change these into .gif or .eps or anything useful!
