Best way to export html to Word without having MS Word installed?

Is there a way to export a simple html page to Word (.doc format, not .docx) without having Microsoft Word installed?

• i believe open office can both open .html files and create .doc files

• Try some online tool like Zamzar

  From Niyaz

• Well, there are many third party tools for this. I don't know if it gets any simpler than that.

  Examples:
  

  • http://htmltortf.com/
    
  • http://www.brothersoft.com/windows-html-to-word-2008-56150.html
    
  • http://www.eprintdriver.com/to_word/HTML_to_Word_Doc.html

  Also found a vbscribt, but I'm guessing that requires that you have word installed.

• Oh yes, open office can create .doc files

  From Microserf

• If you have only simple HTML pages as you said, it can be opened with Word.

  Otherwise there are some libraries which can do this, but I don't have experience with them.

  My last idea is that if you are using ASP.NET, try to add application/msword to the header and you can save it as a Word document (it won't be a real Word doc, only an HTML renamed to doc to be able to open).

• I presume from the "C#" tag you wish to achieve this programmatically.

  Try Aspose.Words for .NET.

  From Ian Nelson

• While it is possible to make a ".doc" Microsoft Word file, it would probably be easier and more portable to make a ".rtf" file.

  From Neall

• If it's just HTML, all you need to do is change the extension to .doc and word will open it as if it's a word document. However, if there are images to include or javascript to run it can get a little more complicated.

  From Joel Coehoorn

• There's a tool called JODConverter which hooks into open office to expose it's file format converters, there's versions available as a webapp (sits in tomcat) which you post to and a command line tool. I've been firing html at it and converting to .doc and pdf succesfully it's in a fairly big project, haven't gone live yet but I think I'm going to be using it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jodconverter/

  Andrew Hancox : I didn't end up using it, it turned out that it leaked memory too badly for production use.

• We’re are using the SautinSoft's HTML -> Word library to convert some Html data to Word for compatibility with our application. Their component converted 6,136,940 database rows total in 3hrs 45mins, good show.

  From Tom Palla

• This is the .Net component to convert HTML to RTF in C#, it names HTML-to-RTF Pro DLL .Net.

  It works without having MS Office.

  Code sample:

  SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.Converter obj = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.Converter();
  obj.PreseveImages = true; //images will be embedded in RTF document
  obj.ConvertFile(@"d:\Web.htm", @"d:\Web.rtf");
  

  From Maximus

• *SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.Converter obj = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf.Converter(); obj.PreseveImages = true; //images will be embedded in RTF document obj.ConvertFile(@"d:\Web.htm", @"d:\Web.rtf");*
