Why convert HTML to DOC?

Converting HTML to DOC creates a Word-compatible, editable document suitable for legacy Word versions, enabling offline editing, archival, and integration into mail-merge workflows.

Will all HTML styling be preserved in the DOC file?

Styling may be lost if external CSS or media are not inlined or bundled before conversion since DOC does not natively support web styling and scripts.

Are there security concerns with DOC files?

Yes, DOC files can contain VBA macros which may pose security risks, so it’s important to scan files before opening them.
