If by "word" you mean Microsoft Word, I know of two ways:
1. Using Microsoft's free Internet Assistant for Word, which extends
Word with filters for converting to/from HTML and editing HTML.
It works, but it doesn't have many fancy features.
2. The freeware rtftohtml with the rtftoweb patches. This is a Unix
program distributed in C source format which converts Microsoft Rich
Text Format (which Word and lots of other word processors can save
as) to HTML.
rtftohtml+rtftoweb can segment a document into multiple HTML files at
section boundaries, and deal with Word's footnotes and back-of-book
index. For an example of its use, open this URL:
http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Paul_McJones/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/
and follow the HTML link. (Or compare with the PostScript version there.)
You can get rtftohtml and rtftoweb sources from:
