Load document from HTML

The following example shows you how to load HTML content from a file and convert it to a Word document. You can use the loadFromHtml method to load from a file or stream.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            // Load HTML from a file
            doc.loadFromHtml("c:\\test\\input.html");

            // Save as Word document
            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);

            doc.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The following example shows you how to import HTML content directly from a string using the importHtml method.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            String htmlContent = "<html><body>" +
                "<h1>Welcome</h1>" +
                "<p>This is a <b>bold</b> text and this is <i>italic</i>.</p>" +
                "<p>You can also have <u>underlined</u> text.</p>" +
                "<ul>" +
                "<li>First item</li>" +
                "<li>Second item</li>" +
                "</ul>" +
                "</body></html>";

            // Import HTML content
            doc.importHtml(htmlContent);

            // Save as Word document
            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);

            doc.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The following example shows you how to append HTML content to an existing Word document using the appendHtml method.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            // Open existing Word document
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument("c:\\test\\existing.docx");

            String htmlContent = "<p>This content was added from HTML.</p>" +
                "<p>It supports <b>formatting</b> and other HTML elements.</p>";

            // Append HTML content to the document
            doc.appendHtml(htmlContent);

            // Save the modified document
            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);

            doc.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
