Batch conversion of HTML to document format?

What is the best way of batch conversion of HTML to any document format? Preferably offline. I have Word 2007 but I understand Batch Conversion Wizard was removed in this version. I have OpenOffice and LibreOffice but the Document Converter doesn't accept HTML I don't think.

Trident 7 layout engine browser?

Can anyone recommend a Trident 7 layout engine browser for IE 11 compatibility?
Lunascape, Avant, Maxthon, Vivaldi or Sleipnir? Which would be best? I've heard Maxthon has funny ideas about user privacy.

Doesn't RTF strip formatting like tables, frames etc.
This might actually be useful for me as I need to do that to OCR scans to turn them into pure text.

Yeah, Keepnote looks like the best competitor being cross platform and using XML. Osmo is Linux only, Treepad is commercial software. Treesheets is a Treepad clone.

Note-taking software, OneNote, Evernote etc.

Just got into Note-taking software, OneNote, Evernote etc. Predictably Microsoft OneNote uses a proprietary format. Is there an open file format and software that supports it?

Just discovered you can't move the user profile to another partition let alone another disk. There are ways involving regedit but no official or supported method. Thanks Windows 8. What a POS.
