There is no "code" in the publicly available source for the above URL.

What about deleting from BODY, the following?

<x-claris-window top="70" bottom="763" left="12"
right="985"></x-claris-window>
<x-claris-tagview mode="minimal"></x-claris-tagview>

Or just do this: look at your URL in a browser. Look at View Source.
Copy the lot. Paste into a text editor like TextWrangler, name it with
an html ending, save and upload to your server to replace the existing
"index.htm".

Interested in learning a bit about HTML and CSS? If so, you might
start by using a stricter !DOCTYPE..., fixing errors (see
http://validator.w3.org/) and so on...

In addition to the parts dorayme identified, you might harmlessly excise
from your HTML file these DoLittle lines found just before the BODY closes:

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span
style="font-size:14.0pt">
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<!--EndFragment-->

HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp

It is generally better to retain such code. It works as a useful warning
to anyone reading the markup, signalling that the page or part thereof
has been created using Microsoft Office and "Save as web page".

The title "HTML CLEANUP" should have been sufficient to indicate that
someone is wasting his time and trying to make others contribute to it.

Cleaning up code is of course not mere waste of time. It can also mess
things up quite a lot.

Especially if the OP has no interest (as history will be our guide) to
learn anything about HTML. It might have some value to redo old code as
a learning experience, but that is not what is going on here.

The latter is most likely to happen making more of a mess. Better to
leave it alone IMO.

He started this most recent campaign to promote himself in the
mozilla.support.seamonkey group, under the guise of problems with the
Composer. I apologize for directing him here, as it was most definitely
off topic in the SeaMonkey group.

Ditto. I was replying to him honestly before I realized he was just
trolling. Oh well.
