FWIW.

I did have some problems last time I converted from Interleaf to FM unsing Filtrix. (Years ago) Sounds similar to what you describe.

My solution at the time was:

1) Create PDF's from Interleaf files

2) Convert PDF's to Word using a plugin, not Acrobat's own (There are a number of these around and some of them do save some sort of stylenaming. I cannot remember the name of the one I used at that time, but I'm sure you can find a suitable plugin.

3) The files are cleaned up in FM using Paragraph, Character and Table Tools from Silicon Graphics

An alternative is to save as RTF from PDF and then let FM decide what names to attach to the different 'styles' create by the RTF. This is often a lenghty process, but can be done.

You did state multi-step, so ...
