Convert Word doc to Plain text before database insert

Is there anyway when uploading a word document to convert the main body of the document to text/html for storage in a varchar or similar column in SQL server instead of those dreadful BLOB fields. Max size of a document to be uploaded is 128K.

I hope this method would improve searches, outputting greatly.

By the way has anyone tried out Verity Ultraseek products ?

Samuel Neff put together some really good information that he presented at CFUN this year regarding Office integration. I'm sure there's stuff in here that can help

What type of server are your running? Windows/*nix, Apache/IIS.
Options will vary according to your architecture
