I need to convert Word binary documents (version 97 up to 2003) into HTML documents programatically. I have googled for 3rd party libraries but most results are junk built on top of System.IO.Package which, ofcourse, are useless for other word documents except Word 2007 - Office Open XML.
Do you know a good tool / library for .NET to programatically convert them ?
Later edit 1 : COM Interop with the Word application is out of the question because this doesn't scale AT ALL. I have tried to generate XLS files and it takes seconds on a multi-core servers per small file. Plus it requires you to have Office installed on the server and sometimes you could have modal dialogs pop up on the server during conversion/interoperability which would hang all processes related to office.
