Hey, I am sorry it took so long for you to get a response! I never left for good, but ended up being forced into a year hiatus due to moving, losing my computer, new baby and full time college after all that. Life is getting a little more simple again - for now.
To answer your question, there is indeed a way to get a CAW heightmap into WM. You probably found this out by now. :#
It's basically a custom generator. You import the png into WM and want to make it's edge behavior is set to tile, otherwise, if you add another generator to combine, and it's on another extent, you won't see it through the combiner. If that's all latin to you, ignore it, lol, just set it to tile and that you either have the resolution of your file/extents set to the same as the image or you can manually drag the scale of the png to be larger or smaller in the generator's settings. Say if you don't own WM and you need to work with smaller tiles than 2048 or whatever map size you are exporting from CAW.
TUTORIAL UPDATE: I do plan to make the third part of my tut very very soon. I lost all my recordings when my Asus died so I had to start fresh from where I left off!
Edit: you know, I will probably just include a quick tut covering how to import png/custom generators and maps into WM in part 3, since this is handy for people to know.
