    What actually changes

    DOCX and HTML are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    Word styles are mapped to semantic HTML elements and images are extracted as separate files. The result is markup a CMS can accept rather than a picture of a document.

    Worth knowing first

    Word's own Save as Web Page is famously unusable, producing thousands of lines of conditional comments and inline mso styles. A proper conversion drops all of that, which also means hand-applied local formatting disappears, so anything styled by hand rather than with a style will look plain.

    Questions

    DOCX to HTML, answered

    Why is Word's own HTML export so bad?

    It is designed to round-trip back into Word without loss, not to produce web pages, so it preserves Word-only metadata in comments.

    Are images inlined?

    They are extracted as separate files and referenced. Base64 inlining is possible but makes the HTML unwieldy.
