I could never have the exact URL string as the HTML page. Would Google or the other SE's nick you for having duplicate content, one WordPress page and on HTML page? Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

the bold part sounds really strange, unless you have some deep folders (and even then you can do it). However, if you really have issues with that, the 301 redirect other posters mentioned is your answer
