I found a contrived means of importing Word documents into Google Code Wiki pages. It isn't pretty:
1. Saved the Word document as a filtered HTML file. (I created a macro to do the save with one click). This produces a less polluted HTML file than the normal Word HTML format.
2. Copied the HTML and pasted it into jtidy.de, which converts most of it into Wiki format
3. I paste it into a new Wiki page in Google Code.

Unfortunately, this is not a perfect process and I often have to correct spacing errors or missing lines of text.

This makes converting Word documents to Wiki a slow process, especially with the more complex ones.

Saving it as straight text is probably easier because I can add the formatting myself. I will try that tomorrow.
