Please see my past answers:

Not all if it is relevant, but you can find some basic ideas.

Also, please see this wonderful CodeProject article: A Professional HTML Renderer You Will Use[^].

Even though this work does not have anything to do with Word, if you look at the implementation, you may find that part of your work is already done. This wonderful component renders HTML as RTF. But RTF is something compatible with Microsoft Word, which can always use RTF data to create a Word document, if you use Word automation (I explained how to use Microsoft.Office.Interop in my answers referenced above). Just yet another idea you can try to consider.
