While it's possible, by various methods others have suggested, why would
your company want to incurr the extra expense and trouble of repeatedly
converting from FM to Word and back again? 

It seems to me that if you've decided to migrate to FM, you've decided
to migrate to FM -- why do translators who "cannot or will not learn a
new tool" get to veto that decision? If they won't accommodate your
company's decision, replace them.
