  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.
