Maybe handy for feeding Word docs to my corporate Wiki.
Needs to be tried and tested!

<P>Saving a relatively simple Word document (no images or tables) to html and then running that through the converter <A rel="nofollow" title="http://diberri.dyndns.org/html2wiki.html" class="external text" href="http://diberri.dyndns.org/html2wiki.html">here</A> produced good mediawiki formatting. A document including images, tables, and centered text did not work as well.  The images would need to be added to OWW separately, the table also didn't come out quite right and centered text was no longer centered.
</P><P>A direct converter can be found <A rel="nofollow" title="http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?u=http://www.homeopathy.at/wiki/index.php?title=Word2Wiki" class="external text" href="http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?u=http://www.homeopathy.at/wiki/index.php?title=Word2Wiki">here</A>.
</P><P>A series of Word macros for doing simple conversions (including tables) is <A rel="nofollow" title="http://www.infpro.com/downloads/downloads/wordmedia.htm" class="external text" href="http://www.infpro.com/downloads/downloads/wordmedia.htm">here</A>; they seem to work reasonably well but aren't designed for sophisticated layouts.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BE97C777-1E39-4131-8451-1E023EED5F35/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
