It would be great to have one way to read and write all these formats. See my embedded comments.

To generate msword docs - it might be easier (and more portable) to simply write out the new xml form of word rather than using win32ole. I believe it would still have all the same capabilities but just represented in xml format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML And of course don't forget to add open office xml to the list. You might also take a look at deplate for some inspiration, it generates latex, html, and docbook and can read from a few formats. If you set up a mailing list, let me know as I would like to follow the project since this could be very useful as I need to be able to generate many formats.
