This component looks like it might be the best of the bunch. It missed a
couple of small things, like not converting an en-dash properly and
generating multiple redundant tags, but for the most part it did a
good job, very close to what Word did. With the optimization flag turned
on, it generated a 5K file where Word generated 7K, important if you're on
a slow phone line. It also did a better job on vertical spacing; it didn't
insert all the extra blank lines that Word did.
check out www.wptools.com -- It is primarily for word processing, but the
rtf engine handles HTML conversions quite well.. you could also automate
Word if you felt like your user would have a copy of Word
You can use BUPack, at http://www.bupack.com and under BU Convert page
for converting RTF to HTML have a look at the SCROOGE component at

For storing rich text non visually... LMDTools have a TLMDRichStorage
component in their RichPack that might be useful
