Each person will have their own idea here. Word 97 was excellent at creating an HTML file. It was simple and easy to use. The later ones attempt to present the HTML controlled like it was page oriented. They fill of the CSS (style section) with all sorts of extraneous things. Even filtered is not very clean about this. However there are tools that can read DOC files and create cleaner html or cleaner ePub that doesn't require as much fix up and removal of extraneous items (bloat) for eBook use. Word is good at handling an automatic TOC generation, links to footnotes, auto quotes and other items and the resultant doc file is quite useful, but not the html output IMHO. YMMV.
