ms word documents and html

anybody knows of a way to convert a word document into manageable html?
The ms word 'save as web page' creates horribly cluttered html, and
pasting the word content in a plain text editor then in dreamveaver
looses all the indents alignement, even some of the dates in a list are
lost (the document is a resume with lists and dates)...

Is there a systematic method that will do the job without re-building
the entire layout from scratch?

Copy the page from the Word Application and paste it into DW.

thanks, i tried that. it inserts thousands of &nbsp; and yet gets all
alignements wrong.
I guess there is no right way of doing it.

It's the best way because it eliminates all of the office-specific XML stuff
in the HTML.

It's also lots easier (sometimes) to reformat/fix the document in Word, and
then do the copy and paste.

I did make good experiences with the "Save as HMTL" function in Open

Office...

One more reason ;-) http://openoffice.org

Why not just create the page in DreamWeaver?
