Perhaps this is why they are free? Surely someone out ther has a commercial package that can deliver the goods? I live in hope.

To see an example of the kind of HTML that MS Word delivers, create a short document in MS Word, save it as HTML, and then open it in a text editor. This can be a real eye opener.
