How to convert HTML to Word
- Drop the file.
- Nothing to choose.
- Press Convert and download.
What happens to your file
The HTML is opened by LibreOffice Writer on Fylane’s servers and saved as DOCX: headings, paragraphs, lists, links and tables become their Word equivalents; pictures are kept when they are inside the file (data URLs), and left out when they only link to a site — nothing is fetched from the web.
Scripts and styles that Word has no notion of are dropped; a page that relied on CSS for its layout comes out as a plain document.
Questions
Can I give it a web address instead of a file?
Not on this page. Save the page from your browser first — Ctrl+S or Cmd+S, choosing "Webpage, complete" or single file — and drop the HTML that produces. The URL to PDF page does take an address, if a PDF would do.
Why does the result look plainer than the web page?
Because a web page is laid out by CSS and a Word document is not. Headings, paragraphs, lists, links and tables all become their Word equivalents; the columns, cards and spacing that CSS was drawing are dropped. What you get is the content, typeset as a document.
Do the images come through?
Images embedded inside the file as data URLs do. Images that merely link to a website do not, because nothing is fetched from the web during the conversion — a deliberate choice, since fetching whatever a document points at is how a converter becomes a security problem.
Do links survive?
Yes, as real hyperlinks in the Word document rather than as bare text.
Should I convert to Word or to PDF?
Word if you intend to edit the text afterwards. PDF if you want the page to look as close as possible to what you saw, since HTML to PDF keeps the styling that this conversion has to drop.
Do it once, not on every form
Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
