Convert Large HTML to DOC?

Question

I am programmatically converting an existing HTML file that has been dynamically created to a MS Word document. I've ran into a situation where the MS Word Document object fails to process the HTML file if that file ends up being very large. I get the same result irrespective of my choice of programming language (I've tried converting from HTML to DOC in C++ and VBScript). I also see that even the Microsoft Word application chokes up while trying open this same file.

I thought of eliminating the task of dynamically generating a HTML file and instead write its contents into a *.doc file. But there's the issue of preserving previously defined formatting and layout.

Is anyone able to walkthrough additional options?

First off, the following requires Notepad++ and its NppExport plugin. If you don't have it, you won't regret installing it. You can get Notepad++ here. The NppExport plugin can be obtained through the (Plugins -> Plugin Manager) option in Notepad++.

Now once you have it you could just go ahead and open the source file in Notepad++ and do this.

I hope this helps.
