html formatting converted to Word

Hi ,I am using a Rich text area. The data entered in the text area can be formatted eg bold, italic etc.while saving this data in the data base file, it gets embeded into HTML tags.By using Word objects through VB i am generating the MS Word Report.Now I want the data which is formatted using the HTML tags to come formatted in the Word Document.When I am using the following codestrDesc = "Description"tblUser.Cells(i,j).Range.Text = strDescThen the table contents dont come bold and underlined , they come as it is.Any solution or plugin available to do thisThanks & RgdsAmeet
