ok, this is WAY off topic for the postgres list.

go do a search at google.com or altavista.com... takes 5 minutes. example i
came up with on page 1of an altavista search:

http://www.hypernews.org/HyperNews/get/www/html/converters.html

hm. in particular: General Translator Archive (Rainbow) Electronic Book Technologies is providing a set of translators
tomove from proprietary word processor formats into various SGML         formats, including HTML. 
 

check it out.

and pleast, next time, use the computer search engines, not attempt the use of
human ones on a list that has nothing to do with your issue.
