Hello,

I encountered an issue where DOCX files generated using the html-to-docx library fail to open in Microsoft Word. The error message displayed by Word is:

Word encountered an error trying to open the file.

After investigating the problem, I discovered that the issue is related to the margins object in the documentOptions configuration. When I remove the margins object, the DOCX file is generated correctly and opens without any issues in Word.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Use the following code to generate a DOCX file: 
    import HTMLtoDOCX from '@turbodocx/html-to-docx';

const htmlContent = `
  <html>
    <body>
      <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
      <p>This is a test document.</p>
    </body>
  </html>
`;

const documentOptions = {
  margins: {
    top: 1000,
    right: 1000,
    bottom: 1000,
    left: 1000,
  },
  font: 'Calibri',
};

const docxBuffer = await HTMLtoDOCX(htmlContent, '', documentOptions, '');
  2. Attempt to open the generated DOCX file in Microsoft Word.

Observed Behavior:

  • Word displays an error message and fails to open the file.

Expected Behavior:

  • Word should open the DOCX file without any errors.

Workaround:

  • Removing the margins object from the documentOptions allows the DOCX file to open correctly in Word.

Example of Working Code (without margins):

import HTMLtoDOCX from '@turbodocx/html-to-docx';

const htmlContent = `
  <html>
    <body>
      <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
      <p>This is a test document.</p>
    </body>
  </html>
`;

const documentOptions = {
  font: 'Calibri',
};

const docxBuffer = await HTMLtoDOCX(htmlContent, '', documentOptions, '');

Environment:

  • Library Version: @turbodocx/html-to-docx 1.9.3
  • Node.js Version: 22.2.0
  • Operating System: macOS
