I'm trying to programatically export a word document to html format using OpenOffice 3 but I haven't had any luck so far. My computer's operating system is Windows XP.
I have tried the following filter with disastrous results: 'HTML', 'HTML (StarWriter)' and 'impress_html_Export'.
To give you an idea of the type of result I have been getting, here is a sample of the output file:
PK�����”šœ:^Æ2f'���'������mimetypeapplication/vnd.oasis.opendocument.textPK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/statusbar/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/floater/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/popupmenu/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/progressbar/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/menubar/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/toolbar/PK�����”šœ:���������������Configurations2/images/Bitmaps/PK���”šœ:������������-���Pictures/200000B7000089FA0000AB416FBC0CF2.wmf|œuÜVÅó°wföÜtKww§ H‰€ˆ„ (ŠÒÝÝÝÝÒ-Ý-‚ÒRJ‡(ïuß‚ïï?_ŸÏå9gsvvfvöÍ9+X†¹ÑÿS;‡ á·.óár‘ÈÓK¬È3ôú[E#}D_ñO¸$—$qQyþ¥áòþ —çç¢ð|Á˜K6ü·T\.ž

Please help me spot the problem.
