Convert attached Word doc to HTML in Notes doc

I woudl like to allow the user to attach a Word document into a RTF and upon saing the document, put the HTML equivalent into another field (which will be seen on the browser)

Is the only way to do this…

1 - Get a handle on the Word doc

2 - Using the Word classes through script (COM) save a temp copy as HTML

3 - Import the HTML file (not the file, the HTML code) into my browser viewable field (with pass-thru HTML?)

If so, how do I get a handle on the HTML code rather than the document itself once I have created it?

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated. I downloaded the ROI examples from the Sandbox as they were mentioned in another post, but I could not see this functionality anywhere (apparently QuickPlace does this very well)

Thanks

Mike
