If you are looking for a different API, you could try the Leadtools SDK. You can convert from Word to Html really easily with only a few lines of code. This example is pulled from their documentation page for DocumentConverter:

https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v21/dh/doxc/documentconverter.html
using (var documentConverter = new DocumentConverter()){
    string inFile = @"C:\temp\input.docx";
    string outFile = @"C:\temp\output.html";
    var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(inFile, outFile, DocumentFormat.Html);

    var documentWriter = new DocumentWriter();
    documentConverter.SetDocumentWriterInstance(documentWriter);

    var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData);
    documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job);
}

hi, Pramod Since you do not need MS Office to be installed on developer machine, I recommend C# Word component which enables programmers to manipulate Word files in .NET platform without MS automation. More specific please check - Convert Word from/to HTML with Embedded Image.

Hope it works for your situation.

Hi, here is a straightforward API for converting between HTML files and Word files in .net:
// Convert Word to HTML.
DocumentModel.Load("Sample.docx").Save("Sample.html");

// Convert HTML to Word.
DocumentModel.Load("Sample.html").Save("Sample.docx");

It is from this Word processing library (for .NET).
