Easily? BBEdit will open it easily but my experience with getting
documents that Word had made into html has been abysmal and
frustrating.

Try this: <http://www.stg.brown.edu/edu/tips/word_to_html_with_bbedit_1.html>.

While this helps, there are still problems. Tidy while it does remove the Office Crud does not put out correct CSS and HTML. First it tags every paragraph as <p class="style1"> instead of defining a P rule with the settings that are assigned to style1. Worse, in the tests I ran, it does not even define style1. The correct method is to have the .style1 and p rules the same. Each Paragraph is the just <p>. If there needs to be a style change in the middle of a paragraph (other than <em> or <strong>) you use a SPAN assigning a CSS class for bold, italic, whatever and the declare a <span class="style1"> for the rest of that paragraph if needed.
