The easiest method of converting Word (.docx) files to HTML is by simply saving the document as HTML — click on the Save As option, then select HTML/HTM file type in the drop-down options. However, for users of our website, we provide specific services that may be useful alternatives to the default options provided by Microsoft Word.
PageSection now provides a service for users to upload and convert Word (.docx) documents into HTML content. This was developed and released after this article was already published, visit pagesection.com/convert-word-to-html-editor-project to upload and convert files to HTML.
When using the online Word-to-HTML conversion tool that we provide, simply upload a Microsoft Word (.docx) or plain text (.txt) document and let the conversion produce HTML. Disclaimer: Only upload and convert simple documents for accuracy, avoid complex designs and features — like graphs, word-art or animations — which cannot easily be converted to HTML.
For this method, we will use the online HTML Editor. Visit pagesection.com/editor and select any of the trial/test/sample projects (no login required). If you prefer using custom templates, feel free to create a user account and be able to upload your own projects and gain full access to them including the ability to save changes. So lets get started.
Open your word document (or any other text file) on your computer, then highlight the target text and copy as you normally would.
Within your web browser, open the HTML Editor, and select the HTML page to edit from the pages menu. Once the selected page has been fully loaded in the preview, double-click to select any text on the page, and paste to replace with the contents copied in the previous step.
In some cases, the HTML page may be blank or it might not have any visible content to select and replace by clicking. In such cases, use the editor's sidebar to open the element structure and add or insert an HTML text node into the webpage. You can then proceed to double-click (select) the text node and replace the text contents with the text copied in the previous step.
Finally, you can proceed to edit the text content in the HTML Editor. Editing can be done in two (2) forms; either visually with both the sidebar editor panel options and the rich text editor, or programmatically using the code preview. This enables both programmers and non-programmers to use the editor with ease.
You can use other services provided by PageSection to create HTML markup and content. These are highly recommended for web content creators.
Save time creating HTML markup/content by using editable HTML templates. These allow users to edit content directly in the web browser, instead of editing Word documents and converting to HTML later on.
