Probably the safest way is plugin to Word using the exe (I believe).
What you need to do is:

1. Read in the document object using the plugin.
2. Modify the document by adding/removing text.
3. Using the plugin do a save as... and save as html.

If you want to read it in and handle all the Word formatting yourself you´ll have quite some work figuring out the codes for italic, bold, underline, colors, linebreaks, ... and reformatting those to HTML tags.

I have no ready code for this, but I know it can be done and most things mentioned above will be available via google. Make sure you read up on it first and understand the DOM, then start a small prototype. If that works, this will be a piece if cake.

hope this helps to get you started.
