Thanks to all who replied.
I've downloaded all the likely candidates and will have a play with them and
report back. So far I've had very good results with wvHtml which has coped
admirably with all the word docs I have to hand.
If anyone else has already evaluated any of the converters I (and
How about staroffice ? It reads *.doc files and you can save them as *.rtf
files.

Try www.htdig.org, and look in the contributed software directory. There is

htdig can index them. I believe it is doc2html.pl, but "doc" embraces
various forms of documents.

Hello!
Try to use StarOffice. Seems, it's possible to make automatic conversion
from word.DOC into something more suitable.

I've just installed it, but I can't find any obvious way to invoke it at the
command line to load a Word file and save out html or rtf. Am I missing
something? Also, when I tested the software via its gui and load

They seem to have an RTF to html utility which will run on multiple
platforms, but the thing that converts word documents directly requires a
copy of Word on the server :-(
