Word to HTML: what to know

A Word document stores its content as XML inside a ZIP file, wrapped in page settings, fonts and styles that only make sense in a word processor. This converter reads the .docx in your browser and writes plain, semantic HTML: h1 to h6 for headings, p for paragraphs, ul and ol for lists, real table markup, strong and em for bold and italics, and a elements for links. Footnotes become a numbered list at the end with links back to where they were referenced.

What it deliberately leaves out is the look of the page. Fonts, colors, margins, page breaks, headers, footers, comments and text boxes don't come along, because on the web those belong to your stylesheet. That is the difference from saving as a web page in Word, which produces long, style-heavy markup that is hard to reuse.

Pictures are embedded as data: URIs by default, so one HTML file holds everything. You can choose a complete page with a title and a small readable stylesheet, or just the fragment for pasting into a CMS.

Popular uses

  • Publishing a Word draft on a blog or in a CMS without pasting junk formatting
  • Turning a policy or handbook written in Word into a web page
  • Preparing content for an HTML email template
  • Getting clean markup to hand to a developer

Tips for the best result

  • Use Word's built-in Heading 1, Heading 2 and so on in your document; text that is only made big and bold becomes a normal paragraph.
  • Leave images out if you plan to upload them to your site separately; the HTML gets much smaller.
  • Check the notes under the result: they list anything Word had that HTML can't hold.
