None whatsoever. Although I would try to move everything over to storing everything in native HTML directly in the Zope DB and using a content management system for direct editing of the content by the users.
Conversion would be preferable, but it's not going to happen. There are several reasons, but the leading one is that they insist on concocting heavily formatted and illustrated Word documents that just don't render well in html. Even if you can manually overcome the deficiencies of the various conversion utilities available [I exclude the Zope product from that statement for now because I haven't actually tried it, but everything else certainly sucks], what they really want is what amounts to a picture of the file, but they hate pdf, so.... I've resigned myself to having to contend with Office documents and all of the many, many pains associated with them. On the bright side, this nightmare did present me with an opportunity to use python to write the only linkchecker that I know of that will test links embedded within Word documents and if I ever get around to cleaning up the code so that it is suitable for general use, I'll probably open source it.
