Could you save as PDF and then save that as Word?

Alternately, you could sub-contract the job to me 😊

Subject: [Framers] Converting a frame maker document to a word document

Hello all,
I have an absolutely massive frame maker document (700+ pages including a 
bibliography) that is laden with cross references and graphics. It’s a heavily 
detailed scientific guide that I’m also single sourcing to produce another 
guide from. I’ve gone round and round with my client on this, but they’ve 
decided that they want everything in Word  now, despite all my articulate 
arguments about why Word is not the source tool you want to use for something 
like this. That said, that means I have to convert this beast to a word 
document. I know I’m probably up the proverbial creek without a paddle, but is 
there any even remotely possible way to do this short of copying and pasting 
everything in and manually reformatting ? I have tons across references. I have 
numbered figures that need to remain numbered sequentially. I have a 
bibliography that uses super scripts for cross references, etc. It’s just a 
nightmare and I don’t even want to think about starting this but I don’t have a 
choice.

Any and all advice short of drinking heavily and running away is appreciated 

Thank you so much,
Tam
