      Yeah, the limitations of HTML. Word can format individual elements of the document in ways that are not directly supported by HTML. You'll get a good approximation of the document, but the more complex the document, the more differences you're going to see. The alternative is to "print" the document to a PDF file and send that to the client. If the browser has an extension to display PDF documents in the browser it'll display. If not, they'll get a prompt to open it in an external viewer or save the file.
