Is there anything out there that I can upload a file to my system and
convert that document without the use of open office or MSWord, convert
it
to html? Or at least break it into a file format that can do that?
Thanks.

There is a utility called antiword available at
[http://www.winfield.demon.nl/](http://www.winfield.demon.nl/) .
Works like a charm. 🙂
