There will still be plenty of inline styles left, BUT you will NOT see the Mso.Normal or TON of extraneous Word tags. For the most part, I have been able to clean up large Word docs with just a few "Search & replace" actions.

on 6/19/2009 I have been a website designer for 12+ years (yes, started in 1996 converting a MS Publisher file to HTML ... YUCK.) Having dealt with 100s of clients over the years, it is inevitable to receive content from them that was created in MS Word. I have tried many "Word to HTML" converters and processes, and the best one I have found so far is funky, but is actually one of the most dependable. The only requirement is a Gmail account.

on 12/5/2008 I am trying to convert word doc into HTML to use for email marketing as a newsletter. The word doc is with images, text, and set margins/spacing, and needs to look just like it does in word when saved as web page. So far, aside from saving it as web page/HTML hasn't been very useful as well as gmail's "View as HTML" feature which blows the copy out of proportion, and it seams it is not able to support images. Would anyone happen to know if there is another more practical and convenient way to convert word doc to HTML with somewhat comprehensive results?
