I don't know about the CD-Rom part, but don't overlook PageMaker 6's HTML 
plug-in. It's lame, but it does convert PM files to HTML. The problem is that 
very little of what you can do in PM can be translated to HTML, so if your 
document is complex, the plug-in is pretty useless. If your PM file is simple, 
or you designed it for this purpose, you may get reasonable results. The 
problem is not that the plug-in is bad, it's the inherent incompatiblity 
between the formats.

E-mail me if you have questions about it. I used it quite a bit.
