Take a look at Upcast. Does the same job as Majix but much better.
Licensing is free for personal use AFAIK.
I can understand you frustration at Majix. I've used it extensively in the
past on simple docs with some success but have migrated to UpCast now I'm
needing to convert much more sophisticated docs.
You could take a look at CambridgeDocs too. They have what seems to be a
pretty good engine though I haven't been able to review it properly as
they use .Net extensively (not a fan of .Net ;o) )
All 3 of these apps will work "out-of-the-box" but need some degree of
customisation so get a reliable conversion. The customisations are
required to deal with the different authoring styles of the original Word
doc writers - each different doc style needs a different level of
customisation!
