You can write a transform to convert Word's embedded images into SVG and 
then use Batik to convert them into PNG or JPEG or GIF. Then, with another 
transform, you can convert the paragraphs that contain the images into 
DocBook's figure or inlinefigure elements. I have an Ant target that scoops 
images out of Word documents in that fashion for one of my clients.
