Alright, let’s break this down step by step. Ready? Let’s get started!

Step 1: Setting Up Your Document Directory

Before we can do anything, we need to specify the path to our documents directory. This is where our Word document will be saved.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the actual path where you want to save your document.

Step 2: Creating a New Document

Next, we’ll create a new instance of the Document class. This represents our Word document.

Document doc = new Document();

Step 3: Initializing the DocumentBuilder

To insert HTML, we’ll need the help of the DocumentBuilder class. This handy class makes it easy to add content to our document.

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Step 4: Inserting HTML Content

Now comes the fun part—adding the HTML content. Using the InsertHtml method of the DocumentBuilder class, we can embed HTML directly into our Word document.

builder.InsertHtml(
    "<P align='right'>Paragraph right</P>" +
    "<b>Implicit paragraph left</b>" +
    "<div align='center'>Div center</div>" +
    "<h1 align='left'>Heading 1 left.</h1>");

This snippet inserts a right-aligned paragraph, a bold left-aligned paragraph, a center-aligned div, and a left-aligned heading into the document.

Step 5: Saving the Document

Last but not least, we’ll save our document to the specified directory.

doc.Save(dataDir + "AddContentUsingDocumentBuilder.InsertHtml.docx");

And there you have it! You’ve just inserted HTML into a Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET. High five!
