I can suggest very simple method for correcting the obscure html
filenames created when you convert your doc.
For each chapter and section, add an id. Syntax:
<chapter id="intro">
<sect1 id="aboutauthor">
...and so forth. When you process to html, the filenames will be
intro.html, aboutauthor.html, etc.
Hope that helps!
