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

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?

    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.
