Just to add to what Rick's said, there's a helpful section (6.1) in the Mif2Go manual, which you can download from the Omni Systems site, explaining just why Word doesn't play well with FrameMaker.

Just a thought, taking a more global view... FrameMaker 12 claims to be able to import PDFs with comments into the original FrameMaker source document, *even if it has changed*. I have no experience of how well it works (yet ;-), but you might want to review this new feature.
