I would advice you to do the following:

 * Download Open Office 2 beta (openoffice.org)

 * Install it on your Windows machine

 * Open the Word document in Open Office 

 * Save or export as HTML

 * Fragment the output as requires, probably by hand (WYSIWYG programs like
Word have no notion of structure or semantics)

 * Run HTMLTidy on the resulting HTML (find it in sourceforge.org)

 * Modify output to fit XHTML standards

 * Use search & replace for the task above

 * Lastly, make sure your code validates (W3C validator)

Good luck,

Roy
