Well... A couple other kind souls e-mailed me a response to try RTF.  Yes,
it does convert EVERYTHING to ascii.  If I were e-mailing the doc to
someone who would use Word to view the doc, this solution would be ok.
However, what I really need is something to convert the formatted Word doc
(with side by side headings, tables, indents, word wrap, etc.) into an
online doc.  That is, something that could be read as is (and looks decent)
in the e-mail program.

Thanks again.
