Sounds cool!
Tidy has an MS Word parameter that can be used to cleanup the kludge that is supposed to be HTML generated from this piece of software.
See: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html#word-2000

Have you used this in your convertor or rolled your own?

Hi,
For a while now one problem that kept coming up was dealing with MS Word
files, and getting them into a format that was easy to parse. Anyway, I
figure some people might also have this problem so I wrote a web service
that converts MS Word to Oasis OpenDocument 1.0 format, and then
optionally runs the XML through an XSLT pipeline. So, basically, this
web service converts MS Word to arbitrary HTML or XML, and returns the
results in a .zip file.
The software, called Docvert, has reached 1.0 and is at

Let me know what you think.
