correct my overzealous rewording of the WvWare link
Here are some tools that may be helpful in converting Microsoft Word files to wiki markup:
* [[Word2MediaWikiPlus]]: Converts text, tables and pictures into wiki format.
* [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=WordToWiki_swythan Word to TikiWiki]
* [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Word+to+Confluence+Converter?focusedCommentId=11298 Word to Confluence Converter]
The conversion can also be done using a two step process using Perl. This requires the following software:
* [http://search.cpan.org/~diberri/HTML-WikiConverter-0.55/lib/HTML/WikiConverter.pm HTML::WikiConverter]
* [http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ wvWare Word to HTML(?) converter]
