Converting from Word or WordPerfect to HTML

I've been given some Word and WordPerfect documents to put on the
library's web pages, and I've found that the WordPerfect and other
conversion programs I have seem to do a pretty wretched job of converting
into HTML. The odd program-specific codes were to be expected, given past
performance, but what threw me was that none of the programs I tried
(Word, WordPerfect, or Adobe PageMill) seemed to put in the codes for
underlined text. I went back and added all the <u> </u> codes by hand
which was very tedious.
Can anyone recommend a conversion program that does a smoother job of
converting from the most common word processing formats into HTML? Even
if they only saved me the need to add text enhancements like boldface,
italic, and underline codes, they'd be a time saver. The basic document
structures in this case were pretty simple, but there was a lot of
emphasized text.
