Hi,

there is a library called wvware (available as i-installer package; see 
also http://wvware.sourceforge.net/), which seems to be able to convert 
Word (up to Word 2000) to several output formats, LaTeX and HTML among 
them. Actually, this seems to be what's working behind the scenes in 
AbiWord.
I never tried it, but it seems promising.
