 Can't save Word Document in HTML format

Good morning, all.

I have written a VBScript to save an uploaded document as HTML for our
Intranet.  The code works fine; the file is found, saved with the .htm
extension, and then displayed.  The only problem is that all
formatting is lost, such as font sizes and bolding!

I have looked in the object browser in Word to see what the value is
for SaveAs HTML and I have recorded a macro to get the value.  When I
record a macro, I am given the constant 100, but all the posts I read
say that the value is 8.  Well I have tried both of these and all I
get when the file is saved is the text, all the same size, with no
formatting.  This makes me think that I am not really getting an HTML
format, just a document saved with the .htm extension, if you know
what I mean.

I am running Office 97 on a WinNT 4 server.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Any ideas, war stories, references
or resources would be appreciated.

For archive purposes, here is the answer.  

This is the code that must be used.

You CANNOT refer to Fileconverters("HTML") due to a documented bug in WD97:

***BEGIN CODE SNIPPET*****

        'Get the file converter'
        'This is necessary due to a bug in Word 97.'
        '  See KB article ID: Q162132'
        for x = 1 to objApp.fileconverters.count
        if objApp.fileconverters(x).ClassName="HTML" then
                fc=objApp.fileconverters(x).saveformat
        end if
        next

        objApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\temp\" & newFileName, fc        
****END CODE SNIPPET*****
