I have done this a number of times, and actually, just using Interleaf's filters
works fine (although if you don't have Interleaf, I guess that's a problem!)
I can tell you that tables convert without a problem. Drawings made in Interleaf
convert OK. Drawings brought in from outside (TIFs converted to image files, for
instance) generally are lost. I believe that autoreferencing is converted to
text, although I cannot be sure about that.
The main thing is that the files become HUGE when you go from Interleaf to Word.
