That sound's cool. I'll check it out.
I beat you to it - it looks extremely cool. After a bit of tweaking I have r2net on Windows converting Word docs with complicated equations to HTML in one fell swoop. Putting Zope in front of it should not be a big deal (as it offers a command line interface). See <http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/logictran/logictran.html> and <http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/projects/cms/logictran/logictran.doc> for the original.
I actually have found another alternative to MSWordDocument called NuxDocument which support othewr formats too.
I found (about a year ago now) that wvWare-based products couldn't handle graphics/equations very well but things might have developed a bit. Certainly Open Office 1.0 was able to open the logictran.doc and _almost_ render it correctly - so NuxDocument and the OO plug-in might be able to compete with r2net with really horrid Word files.
I will try this on first and see if it solves my problem.
Let the list know how you get on .... Paul
Thanks for all who helped!

I have not tried the MSWordDocument product before. That's interesting, thanks for sharing it. I am familiar with a commercial product from Logictran called 'R2NET'. With this software you can easily convert Word (RTF) files to HTML or XHTML or XML. I use the product extensively at the Linux command line. It is easy to use, very powerful and robust. It gives you lots of control over how documents are converted through a translation file which you can customize if you want more custom output. I think it would be easy to plug into Zope.
