I think you will discover that that is a very big programming job, since each of those formats is utterly different and most are proprietary. How do you think that a PowerPoint presentation could be converted into HTML???

This is a massive undertaking (read: you can't do it).

In the South (notice I capitalized that) if you ask someone for directions and he doesn't know, he will never admit that he doesn't know. The place you are inquiring about may be two blocks away, but he will tell you, "You cain't git thar from here."
In this case, though, I don't think it's that these guys don't know how. I believe you actually, "cain't git thar from here."

Well, a genius developer can do it, but it's really difficult. It took me two months to write a Word-to-HTML converter, and it sucked.
