If worse comes to worse, open the PDF full screen so you can see the content you're interested in and then screenshot the entire application, throw that into some image editor and save out the portion(s) you require. Do it multiple times if necessary and then piece the parts together into a complete image.

If copy and paste isn't working, then the PDF could be protected to prevent such actions, who knows.

Assuming the PDF is not locked, you'd just go to Tools/Select & Zoom/Select Tool and then highlight/copy the parts you want.

Maybe open it with Foxit instead of Acrobat. It's a bit friendlier...and free!

SumatraPDF also... even more lightweight than Foxit.

ABBYY PDF Transformer trial allows you to convert 50 PDF pages to Word doc format for free.

You could also use the microsoft document image writer or something like CutePDF to "print" just that one page to a new file. Then you could import that file into your word document.
