Crazy idea, but why not Save As HTML (perhaps with some Perl driven
OLE automation), shake violently with HTML::Tidy -bare -xhtml,
sanitize with XML::Twig to scrub away the span/font/width/margin/muck
(i.e. almost everything), sprint to HTML, and finally squeeze through
HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki?

But with this tool you could convert them to MediaWiki syntax! ;)
