LaTeX is the answer to this.  For a word-processor based on it, see
www.lyx.org.  Using LyX, my documents render excellent in PostScript, PDF
and HTML.  I could convert the document for you into the LyX-format if you
want, or do a one-time conversion so we can get a perfect HTML version.  I
would need the original Word document for this.
