Do you need to convert HTML to Word for some reason? If so, you come to the right place. In this post, MiniTool PDF Editor shows you how to do that via 3 tools. You can have a try.
What Is an HTML File?
HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is a standard markup language for creating web pages. If you carefully observe the web pages you visit, you will find that most web pages today end with .html.
A web page is usually an HTML file stored in a web server or a local PC. Web browsers just receive the HTML document and then render it into a visual multimedia web page.
What Is a Word File?
A Word file is a text file whose file extension name is usually .DOC or .DOCX. DOC is the default file format of older Microsoft Word versions, while DOCX is the default file format of Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions.
Word files are usually used for reports, resumes, letters, documentation, note-taking, newsletters, presentations, and more.
