We have a commercial Word to HTML conversion service that allows non-technical users
publish Word documents directly as well-structured web pages, with
your own HTML template automatically applied.
You can see a demo at http://www.yawconline.com/docs/updateapage.htm

We don't claim that it is a CMS (more of a content maintenance than
a management system), but it generates high-quality, accessible HTML
from well-structured Word documents, and actually uses Word, rather than
being merely "Word-like" (which most web-based editing interfaces 
somewhat ambitiously claim).
