Sample Code

It's quite simple to convert an Html file to a Word document with Free Spire.Doc for Java.

The complete sample code is shown below.

import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.XHTMLValidationType;

public class htmlFileToWord {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Load an html file
        Document document = new Document();
        document.loadFromFile("E:\\Files\\input.html", FileFormat.Html, XHTMLValidationType.None);

        //Save to a Word document
        document.saveToFile("htmlFileToWord.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
    }
