Need support to generate a word document using StringBuilder

Question

I'm trying to generate a word document using StringBuilder, as follows

    [WebMethod]
    public static void ExportToWord(string HTMLContent)
    {

        HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
        string strFileName = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + strFileName);
        System.Text.StringBuilder strHTMLContent = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
        strHTMLContent.Append(HTMLContent);


        HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTMLContent);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();         
    }

The problem is when i see the downloaded doc, it has the remaining page content added with the above <div> content

I'm missing a Response.Clear at the beginning and Response.End() at the end.
