Nope. Usually, the submission of MS Office HTML output is via a web
interface; after that we follow the process as described in my previous
post.
There is one more method that unfortunately requires MS IE as a browser;
in that case the remote user just performs copy > paste from his Word
application to the DHTMLEdit component in the browser. No HTML output
from MS Word is required; just copy paste. After that we submit the
content of the DHTMLEdit edit to the server to follow the same procedure
as mentioned before. This last method occurred after building a web
based visual HTML editor (one of the many).

If your users have MS Win, this will probably work fine since they'll
have IE. You can probably use a Linux server to do the rest (Jtidy [1])
although I haven't employed the Java version of Tidy myself.
