I created an HTML file using Emacs (org-mode export), which I want to open in Microsoft Word. However, Word says it cannot open the file. In the details of the error message, it says:
Reference to undefined entity 'hellip'.
For lack of a better fix, I go in to the file and replace all occurrences of "&hellip ;" with "...", but then I get a similar error message for 'nbsp', and so on.
What is the simplest way to get emacs to output an org-mode file in a form that can be opened in Microsoft Word, without losing formatting?
Is there any particular reason you want to open the HTML file in Word (as opposed to exporting as OpenOffice with gives you an .odt that Word should be able to open?) Also which version of Org are you running?
M-x org-version

You do not need OO installed to export to odt and import odt to word (but see my answer below). – David LeBauer – 2014-01-02T17:25:21.577
