Help with HTML and Creating Word Documents in .NET

Hey all,

I'm a Visual Basic .NET developer and am currently working on a website that does the following:

  • User submits a form.
  • Site opens a Microsoft Word template file and uses the bookmarks on the template to place information from the html form onto the word template.
  • The Word document is then uploaded to DocuSign using their API where it gets signed etc. This stuff all works just fine.

Earlier this week, I ran into an issue that I can't seem to work around. The clients decided they would like a WYSIWYG editor instead of a text area on the HTML form. As some of you may know, WYSIWYG editor data is saved as a string of HTML. The WYSIWYG text looks great on the site but when I merge it into my Word Document it comes through as pure HTML. Is there a way to convert the HTML from the WYSIWYG editor to something readable in Word?
