If you're working with the Windows version of Mathematica, you could try saving the Word documents as a .RTF file and importing the .RTF files into Mathematica instead (the Windows version of Mathematica can open or import .RTF files from the File menu). The import may require some post-processing on your part, but it'd probably be a good start. Incidentally, I'm not aware of existing HTML import modules (certainly there are none by Wolfram...I'm not aware of one by anyone else) available at this time.
