I have created a .sts file to import a Microsoft Word document into FrameMaker, matching all of the Word Headings to the FrameMaker Paragraph Styles. I love this feature. Is there any way to do this backwards? To go from FrameMaker to Microsoft Word and preserve all of those Headings/Paragraph Styles?
I know I can create a PDF and then export to a Word file, but I don't belive that preserves the Paragraph Styles. I have read a little about RTF files but it sounds like I would run into the same issue?

Probably have better luck running it through Robohelp (FM > RH > Word).

You can save FrameMaker documents to RTF. RTF is something similar to MIF files for FrameMaker. They can be opened in Word and saved as docx files.
I have made a series of FrameMaker templates, called "TechWriters templates", which make FrameMaker/Word roundtripping easy.
They are based on the principle of using Words standard style names. This makes it super easy to save the Frame documents as RTF - continue or begin writing in word, import into FrameMaker, save as RTF etc.
You can find them here. Comes in both US letter and A4:
