However, converting Word to HTML can be cumbersome and you have to sacrifice certain things. Most Word to HTML conversions don't deliver what you want or need. Copying between WYSIWYG programs usually deliver WYSIDNWYW (what you see is definitly not what you want).

If you want to retain the styles, you are almost out of luck. I retain the stylenames, but not the styles formatting.
Atlantis is the other way around. It retains the styles (converted to CSS) but changes the stylenames. It also creates new stylenames for paragraphs in which the user modifies the settings for the paragraph but does not make a new style (If the user does this to several paragraphs it will collect them together to make a new style for the set.)

This is for ePub documents. It will make a HTML directly but it is messy with embedded styles in the document itself.
