If they are using Word or Powerpoint 2000 all they have to do si save the
file as an HTML file.
The work is already done for them.
That seems simple enough.

You can use COM to open Word documents (as long as Word is installed on the
server), but I'm not sure how you can do that with PPTs
You have to do some intelligent work with COM to read Word properly
