To convert DOC to HTML, upload the DOC file, start the conversion and download the result. LibreOffice opens the DOC and saves it as HTML; styles and tables carry over where HTML supports them.
Paragraphs, styles, sections, headers, tables, fields, and embedded objects are read from DOC and mapped into the document model supported by HTML. Pagination can move even when every word transfers. DOC enters through a compound-binary document parser that must resolve legacy streams, style tables, fields, and embedded OLE relationships before layout. HTML output favors semantic text and linked assets that a browser can lay out again; page breaks and print geometry are secondary to document structure.
Read structure - The legacy binary Microsoft Word document model. Rebuilt structure - Text markup with linked or embedded styling, media, and document structure.

If you want the reasoning behind this DOC to HTML route, our overview of common file formats explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for editable text documents with styles, headings, and page layout.
Designed for structured content meant for rendering or data interchange.
Compare page breaks, tables, headers, footnotes, and tracked changes in Word or a compatible editor.
Open the result offline and verify headings, links, tables, images, and character encoding.
Modern layout features, embedded objects, macros, and fonts may shift when the binary document is rebuilt.
A standalone HTML file may depend on external assets, and scripts or print pagination do not translate cleanly to every format.
The writer builds text markup with linked or embedded styling, media, and document structure and labels the result as text/html. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.
HTML earns its place when its editing, reflow, or reader support outweighs exact DOC structure - Just test the most complex page or chapter before committing to it.
