Hello,
I know for some small documents - simply save them in htlm format (if you have Winword6 or above).

Ditto what Medo said. Except Word 97 really screws things up when you convert files with columns. Word 2000 is supposed to be much better. I've got it, but haven't had a chance to install it yet - I spend too much time at Sysopt I guess. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif
I'm not sure exactly what you're doing with the documents, but Adobe Acrobat might be another option for you if they don't absolutely have to be HTML. Pretty much everybody has the Acrobat reader, and your document looks EXACTLY the way it did in Word. To create pdf files, it's just like sending the document to the printer, exept it saves it to a file instead.

I have Word 2000. I just saved a document in HTML format. It looks just like the original doc. I then tried one with pictures. It automatically converts the pics in the doc into gifs and puts them into a separate folder.

Considering how many people ask this question, I may be missing my chance for $$$.
The answer is, there isn't an easy way. *.doc is a formatted binary file. *.html is an annotated text file, where the annotations are read by the browser and thus rendered. But this doesn't help your dilemna.
Try this,
In Word find a doc that when saved as HTML (through File Save As in word) 'ruins' the format. Save this file as a straight text file (there are a few options, so run some teasts). Hopefully you can now view the text file in a text editor (notepad, wordpad) in kinda sorta the format you want.
This is gonna get screwed up because of the UBB code being on, I'll try to edit, but...
Now at the very top of the file add
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<pre>
At the bottom of the file add
</pre>
</body>
</html>
Whoa, it almost worked..

The <pre></pre> tags are for preformatted text and the browser will respect spaces and some other characters that the browser normally supresses.

In order to convert you resume or any word document to html, all you need to do is have word 97 and follow the procedure below.
Open the document in word 97.
From the menu select File, then Save as Html.
If you are having any problems or if word 97 is not formatting the document correctly, just e-mail nsbe-telech@virginia.edu

sherlock.

Just a word of warning, files generated by 'save as html' in word and excell (office 2000) are very very very long (too many css statements). O97 did a better job, in terms of bloat.
Your problem with the simple methods (adding html headers and footers) will be formatting, unless you use <pre>, that has its problems too.
Try some methods and see which is easiest, best, shortest( if it matters), etc
