title: How do I insert HTML-Formatted Strings into a Microsoft Word Document using Visual Basic while preserving formatting?
body: <p>I use Visual Basic and an automation interface to retrieve strings from an external application. These strings contain simple html formatting codes (&lt;b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;, etc.).
  Is there any easy function in Visual Basic for Word to insert these strings into a word document and convert the html formatting codes to word formatting?</p>
