Tips & Best Practices
-
Review the converted HTML for layout differences since some Word-specific formatting may not perfectly map to HTML styles.
-
Supplement HTML output with CSS and JavaScript to ensure consistent presentation and interactivity across browsers.
-
Be aware that macros and automation in DOCX are not transferred—manual adjustments may be needed.
-
Ensure any external CSS, JS, or media files referenced by the HTML are properly hosted and accessible to maintain full functionality.
Limitations
-
Visual differences may occur because Word’s proprietary features do not always convert precisely into HTML/CSS.
-
Macro content from DOCX files is not included in the HTML conversion.
-
Converted HTML often relies on external stylesheets or scripts and may not be fully self-contained.
-
Rendering and behavior can vary across different browsers and devices requiring additional adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this tool convert DOCX macros to HTML?
-
No, macros are not stored in DOCX files and thus are excluded from conversion to HTML.
-
Will the converted HTML look exactly like the original Word document?
-
The HTML may have visual differences since some Word-specific formatting and features do not map perfectly to HTML and CSS.
-
Is the resulting HTML file fully self-contained?
-
Often the HTML relies on external CSS, JavaScript, and media files, so it may not be completely self-contained after conversion.
