best way to get text & links from Word to FP?

I'm using FP 2002. Have experimented with different ways to get an article
from Word XP to FP. Richtext seems to work fine, preserving all the links to
internet sites. But it does add a lot of extra formatting compared with
writing the article inside FP and using a css link to format. If I didn't
already have lots of hyperlinks set up, I guess plain text would be better?

I did find a good .pdf converter, so I can save the file from Word to .pdf
and import the .pdf file. But that's just to give viewers an option to read
a file that's better for printing.

Is there any other conversion process that can save the links but minimize
other formatting so the code is less burdened? TIA
