Have you tried tex4ht like this:
htlatex filename "html,0"
This should create an html file your colleagues could open in word,
edit, save as a doc file and send back. I was thinking you might have
trouble with longtable, but tex4ht appears to have provisions for
long table:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/generic/tex4ht/longtable.4ht
Entering:
htlatex filename "html,3"
will break the output into html files at \sections.
tex4ht runs from the terminal. there are some macros that allow you
to run it from TeXShop, I think, and there is a Mac OS X GUI here:

but I have zero experience with the macros or the GUI, and find the
command line easy to use.
