There are a few products around which
can do this. Be warned though: you can't get
structured output from unstructured input,
without a huge amount of work.

Word is a particularly bad source of conversion,
as its default mode of operation almost forces
authors to be inconsistent.

I've done a lot of work in this area (converted
all of a State's legislation to XML), and I have
yet to see a conversion system that actually
works effectively...

Cheers,
