Think of it. MS Excel and MS Word file is not just text file. You need to use proper methods to write html content to its files.
Have you ever heard about OpenXML standard?

As i wrote in comment, the best option in this case is to use OpenXML[^]. It's open format for MS Office documents.

Please, visit below links:
How to: Insert a table into a word processing document (Open XML SDK)[^]
Working with WordprocessingML tables (Open XML SDK)[^]
Introduction to Excel XML Part 1: creating a simple table[^]

Here[^] you'll find very interesting library to convert html table to OpenXML. It supports almost all html table tags.

Good luck!
