Rday,
Errr, it's not a DocBook solution, but StarOffice can
take those files and use them just as is, or even make
them run faster and cleaner, it is available for M$ OSs,
as well as Linux and Solaris. It is free from Sun Microsystems,
www.sun.com/staroffice/
and is a far, far better tool than the M$ errr..."stuff".
Just my $.02
