I care about the font/bold/italics as this is a document which will be

to customers. Today we are sending a formatted document with all bold
headings (multiple subsections), italic content and use different
fonts.
I cannot convert it to plain-text.
Apologies for the late response...
Consider using grohtml (using groff -Thtml etc) to convert the file
to HTML, then pass the HTML through tidy. Keep a copy of the tidy'ed
HTML file and send a copy to your customer (or the person editing).
When you receive the changed version, use diffmerge (or on MacOSX,
use Filemerge.app) to see the differences. If there are only a few
changes, it should be easy enough to apply them to your original
groff file.
If there are a lot of changes, you can use XSLT to convert the HTML
back to groff (some cleanup required).
