Html opens in word

I would like to open an HTML file in MS Word 2007 directly so I can use some of its search and replace features. I don’t care about the file’s encoding and will not actually use the final thing as HTML (I’m going to be extracting interesting parts). I want to see raw HTML. When I open the document, instead Word renders everything.

I am hoping someone knows how to do this from within Word without having to resort to copying and pasting or modifying the file to change the html tags to no longer look like html (such as {html> or something). I have been hit by this multiple times over the years and wish that I could fix the problem instead of always be forced to find a workaround.

Is there some option or setting, or something in the Open dialog that can change Word’s behavior?

You can turn off automatic file-type conversions in Word, and instead it will ask you what type of file you’re trying to open, at which point you can pick Text.

To turn it off (or rather turn on Confirmation of conversion):

  1. Open the Word Options. (Word 2007: click the Office button and then click Word Options. Word 2010: display the File tab of the ribbon and then click Options)
  2. At the left side of the dialog box click Advanced.
  3. Scroll through the options until you see the General section.
  4. Make sure the Confirm File Format Conversion On Open check box is selected.
  5. Click on OK.

If you never want to open rendered HTML in Word again, you can also uninstall the HTML Filter by running Office Setup and de-selecting it form the installed options.

Alternatively and probably easiest: Use something else for the task, like a good Plain Text editor. I personally use and suggest Notepad++.

Yes it is possible, if you right click any html file and open it in Word using ‘Open With’ option, then it will be there inside the Word.

View source code

Microsoft Word supports the ability to save any document as a web page. However, there is no way to view the source code in the most recent versions of Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, and later

As mentioned above, there is no way to view the source code of an HTML document in the most recent versions of Microsoft Word. However, if you open the document in any browser, you can view the source using the browser.

  • How to view the HTML source code of a web page.

While viewing the source code is possible in a browser, to make code changes, we suggest using a text editor or an HTML editor. Not only is it easier to create and modify an HTML file, your source code looks more clean and is less likely to cause incompatibility issues in different browsers.

If you want to use Microsoft Word because of its WYSIWYG interface, realize that many of the more profession HTML editors also have a WYSIWYG interface. For example, Microsoft Expression Web is now free and has an easy to use interface.

Microsoft Word 2003

Microsoft Word 2003 did support the ability to view the HTML source code by clicking View and select HTML source.
