Re: converting html form in a MS Word document

Unfortunately, "MS Word Format" is not an open format. It is always a moving target, in any case. What version of Word format do you want to write? What is wrong with the idea of saving html? Word can open that file as if it were a .doc file. You could save as .rtf, which Word could also open, but what is the point of all that extra work? It will be especially difficult to get the same look in Word, because it is a complicated transformation. html and Word techniques of formatting differ quite a bit, so there are a lot of tricks thrown in to try (and fail!) to get the same look -- just save a simple Word document to html and you'll see what a big complicated mess of html results.
Anyway, probably the most feasible approach, if you must do this, is to find a third-party tool that does this, or something like it. There are probably html-to-rtf tools, at least and some of the old Word formats are probably well-known enough that you could, for instance, create Word 2.0 files...
