HTMLworker and Word strange behaviour

Thanks. The descriptions are stored as separate Word documents. (I don't
know why?!)

So I have saved these as HTML and when I use HTMLworker, the <h1> text is
printed twice on the PDF output. It appears in a large font and again in a
small font. Is this a bug?

**** Example code:

public static void main(String[] args) {

Document document = new Document();
try {
StyleSheet styles = new StyleSheet();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("trial.pdf"));
document.open();
ArrayList objects;
styles.loadTagStyle("p", "leading", "12,0");
objects = HTMLWorker.parseToList(new FileReader(
"C001.html"), styles);
for (int k = 0; k < objects.size(); ++k)
document.add((Element) objects.get(k));

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
document.close();
}

**** Example C001.html from Word below:

<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

Content-Type: text/plain

Hi. I need to retrieve some text descriptions for some code values. When I
add this text to the PDF, it has to retain the correct format. So some words
need to be bold, some italic, etc.

How would you do this? How would you store the text in the look-up table?
How would you parse the text and switch bold on/off?

I assume the normal way to do this would be to have several chunks or
phrases with different fonts and then add them together to make a paragraph.
But I want to store the text outside of the code so that other programs can
access it.

I may have overlooked this, but how do you store the text now?
I would use very simple HTML snippets, and parse it into iText
objects with HTMLWorker.
