I need applescript steps or commands to extract the selected image from word document and then save that image in PNG or JPEG format on the local filesystem.

I would look into accessing the clipboard in AppleScript. You may need to use an applescript extension. As a fallback, you could script key commands using GUI scripting.

Then it’s a matter of getting that image in an AppleScript friendly image editor like GraphicConverter, and saving that file.
