I've been trying to think of a way or write a programme that
will search a specific folder for MS Word documents then convert them
to HTML format and add links onto a certain page.
I've done part of this in AppleScript, but you don't mention what platform
you're running, so I don't know if it'll help you. (The part I've done is
collecting all the documents in a folder and turning them into HTML. I use
it for automatically updating a searchable website. Contributors drop files
into a networked folder, and a script runs hourly to pick up the files, add
some HTML to them, and put them in the proper place to be indexed the next
night.)
Have fun,
