Just so that you know (not that it's a really good solution or  
anything) but if you have access to Adobe Acrobat Professional you  
can export to pdf from TeXmacs and then save as a MS Word document  
from adobe and the result is "decent". Some of the formatting gets  
messed up in the process, but the content is there and readable. Only  
an idea.

I'm having the same problem with my thesis. My professor wants a Word  
document to edit.

So, if you find a good solution, please let me know.
