How to import an html file into MS word, and have Word recognize the H tags?

Question

When you bring a simple HTML file into MS Word, (e.g. with H1 and H2 tags) Word will import it.

But it doesn't seem to fully recognize the H tags as "MS Word "headings"

Anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

If you open the HTML file in Google Docs and then, instead of copying and pasting into Word, you  go to File>Download as and select Microsoft Word (.docx) 

and then open the downloaded document in Word, the appropriate Heading # styles will have been applied

Less steps however if you simply paste the text with tags into Word and run the macro that I provided.

Answer 2

The text at that link is the same as that which I had already copied and processed.

Answer 3

yes,

but the act of opening that text in Google Chrome, will "render it as HTML"

From there, you can copy/paste -- from Google Chrome to MS Word.

Answer 4

But then you say that the Heading # styles have not been applied.

Running the code that I gave you will assign the appropriate Heading # styles.
