I just emailed to =C9ric Barroca (eric@barroca.net), he has a product
name MSWordDocument which uses wvware to convert word-files
to html for zope.
I think wvware is really good for this task and it can convert
word-files into various format (PDF, Latex, DVI, html, ps wml).
It's configurable via xml-files. You just have some tags like

<bold><begin>&lt;b&gt;</begin><end>&lt;/b&gt;</end></bold>

which means that a bold text in word is rendered as <b>...text...</b>.
So it would be relativly easy to change that to use for instance
a custom css.

Erics product already gives you the possibity to write
<dtml-var "myworddocument.text"> to get the html-rendered
content.

cheers,
