For the purposes of delivery across the web, graphics must be treated as separate files from the html pages although most CMSs will allow you to associate images with content when you're managing content separately from the presentation so they can be managed as a unit. In this case it seems that you're not quite doing that as the body text is html and contains links to images that somehow must become meaningful in the context of the site. I'm guessing that you also want to load the images into the CMS so they can be managed through the same interface ? I don't know any tools that allow this to happen automatically but you might want to look at wvWare [ http://www.wvware.com/ ] which is, I believe, the most complete of the open source Word format parsers. It does turn images into web-ready graphics and you can probably wrap it in something like perl to post process the output and import the images into your CMS and munge the links in the document to suit.
