Gord,
You asked about same-sourcing word processing and HTML.
You can use Acrobat to distribute a document on the web while retaining
its exact paper look. The new Amber product, now in Beta, is supposed to
speed up the download process, which currently is quite long.
Another solution, although I haven't tried it yet, is to use an HTML file
and then call the wordprocessing file, using a viewer to see it. Word has
a viewer out and maybe the other major packages do too.
