It's certainly possible, but it will be helpful to know which format the
graphics are in now.
If they're in a Mac-specific raster (bitmapped) format, which is limited
pretty much to PICT or MacPaint/PNT (way, way old format), you can
convert them with a utility such as PaintShop Pro to a format Word can
handle.
If they're in a more cross-platform raster format, such as TIFF or GIF,
you can simply give them the necessary three-character extension and
import them without conversion.
If they're in a vector format, such as Illustrator, Freehand, Canvas, and
so on, you'll need the original software or the Windows-based version of
the same software to convert them. The exception to this is EPS, which
can be placed (if not necessarily viewed) into Word as-is and printed
without problems.
Hope this helps, but without more information, only general advice is
possible...
