Example
The following HTML code will be used in the example:
<html><head><title>HTML to Word Document</title></head><body bgcolor="white"| text="blue"<h1>My First Page</h1><center><p style="font-size:10px;">I am small - size 10</p><p style="font-size:20px;">I am medium - size 20</p><p style="font-size:50px;">I am large- size 50</p></center></body></html>In the above HTML document example, font sizes have been defined as 10px, 20px, and 50px. Microsoft Word measures size using "pt" instead of "px", this will result in a smaller font size within the document upon conversion. If an exact font size is desired when converting an HTML document to a Word document, the font size attribute should use "pt" instead of "px".
