Yes, I manage a fairly large site, converting word to html is all anyone
wants to do anymore, and though I've searched, I've yet to find any
product
that does as the OP asked. What I typically end up doing is printing a
hard
copy for reference, copying and pasting the word doc into note pad and
from
there into Dreamweaver, thereby stripping away all formatting, which gets
rid of MS's unbelievably ridiculously criminally bloated code, but also
gets
rid of all the formatting you do want. Then, using the hard copy
reference,
I go back through and reformat the whole document. If it's simply too big
of a job, or if the content will be updated on a regular basis, I ask that
it be simply put into a pdf and posted that way.
