Parsing Word To HTML using ASP.Net

[Nick]

Hello Everyone,

Can someone please provide me some advice on how to parse
the contents of an html file which was originally an MS
Word doc.

So far, my application allows the users to upload their
docs to my server and I'm able to save it as html.
However, all the proprietary ms html code is included
within the page.

I need to know how I can parse the contents out of this
page into an xml doc.

Thank you in advance.

Nick

Hi Nick,

You might want to invest in Office 2003, since Word 2003
has the capability to save to Word's WordML format, which
is basically XML. It's documented, and once you've figured
out the schema ("object model") it uses you should be able
to extract the data with a transform.
