1) Embedded WMF file in Office document are dangerous. This was known in the community.

2) Windows 9x & ME are less vulnerable to a direct OS Level attack by default, but if you are using third-party image viewers on these OSs, than it is possible you are vulnerable as well. Check with the vendor of your applications for the details.
