"1. Compose a new message in GMail. (If you are still without a GMail
account, request a GMail Invitation code)

2. Attach any PDF or Word document that you want to convert to HTML
You can attach multiple files in this step by clicking Attach another
File.

3. Enter your own email address in the To: box and click send.

4. You instantly receive a message in your GMail Inbox folder. Open
the message and click the "View as HTML" link next to your attachment.

5. The contents of your attachment appear as HTML in a new browser
window without having to download the file. When you're finished
reading the attached file, close the new browser window to return to
Gmail or Save the file to your harddrive."
