I need to be able to save a file from word 07 as a wmf file so I can use it
(the outlines from text) in another program (autocad). I want to use
different fonts in word and manipulate them, then save them as .wmf files and
bring them into my cad program so I can cut the lines out on a cad table. I
do not have correl draw (I saw that on another post).

Most of the times to save a Word image it would be saved as a bitmap. There has
been a method to save to a .eps file, which in turn if you have any draw program
can be saved as a .wmf. Serif has a free draw program.

Word.zip contains code to allow the user to extract embedded Images at original
size and resolution.

If you have PowerPoint you can paste the images into PowerPoint and save the
pictures as .wmf.

This maybe worth the read
