convert word to xml within java application

Does anyone know how I can convert a word document (2003) to xml?

Basically, I want to save it in the format as if you had gone, File, save as, xml from within Word - however this option is not open to me, as i need to somehow incorporate it into my application.

I considered running a macro, then using the VB code, making the filepath/name a parameter so that this could be entered through a GUI, but I have no idea how i would do this, or if there are much better/easier methods.....

Any thoughts?

Thanks
