Convert a page to wordpress (keeping the old page links)

Hi,

I’m converting one of my sites to wordpress… I wanted to convert the entire site structure to be administered through wordpress, my only concern are the current pages (that I can’t change because of PR)

For example. http://www.example.com/example-page.html

Is there a simple way for me to create a page on wordpress (installed on root) that will be pointing to that exact location?? Would permalinks make the .htaccess modifications?

I just need to know if it’s possible, so I can go in the right direction, if not, I’ll just need to have wordpress handle only the new created pages.

Thanks!

Thanks!
