What about HTML-Kit http://chami.com/ it does very well, is free but
that many pages would take quite some time.

Subject: [thelist] DOC to HTML and a CMS


I have a new client who has between 500 and 1000 articles in MS Word
format. He wants to put them on a website.

1 Is there a utility to convert these into a usable HTML format
automatically?  Even if I were to hire a data entry person to convert by
hand via MS Word's Save As Web Page feature, I am then only going to
want the BODY of the thing because I want to build the CSS myself.
Hmmm--I also don't know if the articles are full of formatting or not
which I may have to remove.  I do know someone who runs a fairly large
site with a constantly-growing database of articles, and he puts new
articles on the site via a secretary who cuts and pastes from MS Word
into a private, online data-entry web page--this is an option but seems
somewhat low tech.  Any ideas are appreciated.

2 Is there a pre-fab CMS which would be appropriate for such a site?  He
does have the articles broken down into categories and subcategories, so
I suppose it's actually only a matter of a small database, but I don't
know if he plans to update the articles or to add a lot.  The client is
brand-new to the internet and doesn't know quite what he wants for this
site just yet.

Thanks,
Hershel
