I'm sick of manually converting MS word docs to HTML.

Is there any tool that you would recommend on any platform that does this elegantly and reliably?

The best tool I've used is Dreamweaver, although it isn't pefect.

Anybody?

hmmm.. it appears that OpenOffice does this well, based on my preliminary testing. Can anybody speak to this?

Have you tried Balthisar Tidy - a cocoa wrapper for the Tidy library. It does a good job, but 'good' is always a subjective opinion! Are you more concerned about clean HTML or retaining formatting?
Computer thez nohhh...

Clean HTML.... I want something very basic, my site style sheets handle the formatting anyway. It is very rare that I'd want my page to look like an exact carbon copy of a word doc.
