Try saving the file from Word as an earlier (Word95?) type of Word file, then retry various conversions with that as the original
- save as filtered html & convert
- save as rtf & convert
- load into OpenOffice/Atlantis save as ePub.

RTF does do graphics, just may be some formats aren't supported fully.

Saving the word file as an earlier Word format may help reduce all the extraneous junk that gets put in and is what's causing the glitches when converting.
(I don't use Word anymore, but am pretty sure you can specify what Word version the doc file will be saved as, so that others with older versions can load/edit the file)

A lot depends on what the graphics are and what format they are in.
