It is a noble goal to produce nice HTML from the stuff that word spits out. Noble, but difficult.

There is a tool for that. I'm browsing now to find that tool... . here it is: 'mswordview'. Let me download and try.... oh, new projectpage here. Looks nice, there should be HTML 4.0, LaTeX, plain text, PS, PDF output.... compiling/testing (oh you only need wv, skip the libwv)

On a glance the output is decent HTML. The authors claims W3C HTML 4.0 compliance. Methinks that 'wordview' is the way to go.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
