I am using Microsoft Word 2007. I would like to convert the Word document to XSL-FO. There are some hints on the net, but only for RenderX. Is there such a tool for Apache FOP?

RenderX has a set of freely available XSLT Stylesheets for converting Microsoft's WordprocessingML documents to XSL FO (XSLFO)

These publicly available stylesheets can be used to convert Microsoft's WordprocessingML documents to XSL FO (XSLFO)

You don't have to use the generated XSL-FO with RenderX. You can run them to produce XSL-FO output and render in any XSL-FO engine (to include Apache FOP).

Antennahouse also has a WordMLToFO Stylesheet, but it is not free ($200)
