Another little idea. I created a set of Word templates that more-or-less paralleled my FrameMaker templates.

The essential point is that you have named paragraph styles in both FrameMaker and Word. Although Word is clumsier, it can be made to apply named paragraph styles: If said named styles resemble (within the constraints of Word, of course) your FrameMaker document you can exchange simple documents a bit more easily. You can also *much* more easily import that content from Word to FrameMaker insofar as FrameMaker does a wonderful job of (re-)applying named paragraph styles.

Examples of stuff that breaks are: Complicated tables, particularly ones with spanned colums; Color definitions that diverge from Windows' rather primitive notions of color; Graphics placements. Word doesn't understand side-headings, so they'll be converted to traditional stand-alone headings. And so on...

Otherwise it works just fine... ;-)
