One of the problems is that MS-Word saves the font information by id-number,
not by name. Try to save the file in RTF format, then the fontnames are saved.
This is the system I use to transfer MS-Word files from one MAC to another, and
for the text it works. For your pictures I don't know for sure.

Now when will the normal MS-Word file format save the names?
