Get some help from Microsoft and use an old trick. Record a macro with all necessary clicks and key-presses and translate that to perl. In your case:

- open word and a new document
- type some blabla...
- start recording a macro
- save as HTML (enter all necessary stuff)
- stop recording and edit the macro

that results in the following:

    ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="Test1.htm",
           FileFormat:=102, LockComments:=False,
           Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True,
           WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False,
           EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False,
           SaveNativePictureFormat:=False,
           SaveFormsData:=False, 
           SaveAsAOCELetter:=False

There are your parameters, drop the ones you do not need. Record it yourself, because I used a german version of word97.

in thread Can I save my document to html page? by Anonymous Monk

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

	For:		Use:
	&		&
	<		&lt;
	>		&gt;
	[		&#91;
	]		&#93;
