Converting stories etc written in Microsoft Word to HTML or VBCode

I write my stories (and occasionally long board or LJ posts) using Microsoft Word. I suspect many others do too. Although Word docs can be submitted directly to FictionAlley and FFN, postings to LJ require the text to be properly marked up in HTML, and postings to Chamber of Secrets and other bulletin boards require it to be marked up in a square-bracket substitute called VBCode. Word's "Save as HTML" feature isn't much help with the former (as it stuffs vast amounts of junk into the files) and no help at all with the latter.

A while back I got fed up with the tedious and somewhat error-prone job of hand-coding stuff I was posting, and decided to get the computer to do it instead. So I wrote a set of Word VBA macros that scan the document and fill in the main types of markup automatically (one reason I was able to face reposting 30 revised chapters of NTLJ at CoS Forums).

Anyway, for anyone else who would like to try them out and report back, links and instructions below the cut.
