Convert .doc to .xml

I have been tasked with making a Help Desk reference
software. What I'm thinking is converting all the
Word .doc's to well-formed XML that I can use XSLT on and
display in a WebControl, or can access directly from any
webbrowser if they wish to go to that extreme.
The major issue I can't grasp is the pictures that some
of these documents have. How do I save them out and then
save them into xml? I'm probably gonna have to write my
own converter for this and such, which is no biggie.

Thanks,
Jody

If you're using Office 2003, you can just Save As XML.

Well, I am at home, but that would violate both Serbaines-
Oxley and company policy, so that may be a last ditch
effort. I'm gonna have to guess there's no other way to
do it?
