For Mick D., our commercial wmf2vector module might be of help as it batch converts from WMF to FrameMaker MIF vector graphics while automatically deleting any unnecessary white space around the actual objects in the graphic. If interested, please send me a couple of WMF files for a sample conversion at jeroen@square1.nl.

In general (about getting vector graphics out of Word), the WMF format does indeed have some limitations. Most notably, is does not support true curves or cropping. Assuming your vector graphics are 'good quality' in your Word doc, a better way to get them out can be to print the page 'to file' to a PostScript printer driver. If FrameMaker is your target, you can then either turn the PS into EPS and import that, or use our ps2vector module to convert it to editable MIF illustrations.
