>>I would like to allow my users to edit a doc in MS Word from VFP and then save it as HTML. I already have a program that calls Word to create form letters so that much I got. What I need now is to allow a user to create or edit a doc and save it as HTML so it can be inserted into a Web Page. The Word automation code I have is very old. Does anyone have something new that does the HTML stuff? Is the Word HTML going to work in a page on a standard LAMP server?

Dragan,
Just after I posted the question above I tried creating a short one page Word doc with some text colored and one URL and saved it in HTML. I was amazed at how much code it created. I think I'll look for another method. I'm going to start a new thread to see if anyone knows of a lightweight, simple editor that can save in HTML.
Thanks.
