Try to use Print2Flash for obtaining a working HTML page that displays the original Word document. Formatting, fonts and images are not lost and preserved with this solution. One may get a working PHP sample demonstrating how it can be done from p2f SDK available for download here: http://print2flash.com/download.php Besides SDK it is needed to download and install Print2Flash itself form the same page.
the PHP code is quite simple and the minimum code seems to be like this:
$p2f = new COM("Print2Flash4.Server2")
$p2f->ConvertFile($sourcefile,$fsname);
There are also a lot of additional options you may set here. Please see the full sample code from the sdk to learn about these options.
