Do you know if they'll take a Word file as input, or do they rely on taking 
an "HTML" file as produced by word.  I really don't think HTML Tidy is up to 
the horrors that are created by Word 2000.

How about some relative merits?  One of the problems often cited about major 
linux distros is that they throw all of these different tools for the same job 
at you, and your only option is to spend hours learning one, then hours 
learning another, then another, then choose.  I mean, anybody can do a search 
on Freshmeat and come up with a list of programs, but which is worth spending 
the time learning?

I'm leaning a bit toward Bluefish, but will look at JEdit since it's cross-
platform.

Not using Word, per se.  Receiving Word documents that want to be HTML.
