Intranet Document Publisher recommendations?

Lotus FastSite. Any others?

Hi, I have hundreds of Word documents, Excel, and PowerPoint presentations that I would like converted for web site use. I found an old program called Lotus FastSite that will automate the conversion from document to pseudo-web pages. Does anyone know of any other intranet document publishers? An indexed search function would be nice too. Since this is for internal/intranet use, being spider friendliness is not important.

Thanks.

I think all of those programs support some form of "export to web" type feature and also support a macro scheme. I'm not an expert at Office macros, but I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to write one that opens each document in a given directory, exports it for the web, and then goes to the next one.

(FYI, generally such exports produce hideous html code, but since SEO isn't an issue, give it a shot.)

Preference would be to have a program that would create the site navigation as part of the batch conversion process. Conceptually, I am thinking I designate a source folder on my desktop. Inside the source folder contains the web site structure with the various files inside. The program would convert all the documents into a somehwat web friendly version in the output folder. Then all I would need to do is publish the output folder to the web site.

The goal is a process even a child could perform.

Thanks.

How about Adobe Acrobat? They have macros that fit into most MS Office programs, and if you wanted to set up some sort of batch routine I'm sure it wouldn't be overly complicated...
