Export To Word Utility In SharePoint 2013/Online Using JavaScript

Many a time we need the SharePoint list data in the word file rather than in the Excel (provided by SharePoint). In that case user can use this Utility. This Utility can export the Single selected list Item as well as multiple selected List item. 
To use this utility just copy the code and add it in the content editor in the page of your list.

In SharePoint there is Export to Excel functionality but it gives all the items in the List with all rows and columns...It doesn't give the feature to:
  • Export Selected rows
  • Limited Columns
To use this utility just copy the code and add it in the content editor in the page of your list. Edit a Page, Add a webpart, media Content webpart, Add Content Editor, Add the code after uncommenting one line(Highlighted in green),
