Thanks, good hint! Cleaning up Word HTML is one of my favorite
pastimes NOT. But I have to do it from time to time.

Are you referring to the "filtered" or "unfiltered" html output. There is a big
difference.

Nice site.

If this is for Expression, however, right clicking on the HTML in source
view and choosing Optimize HTML (and leaving the Word HTML checkbox
checked) will do a fairly decent job as well.

Peace and Grace,

I take whatever filtering I can get. Which exactly do you mean?

Word "Save as" has two html formats. "Web page (.htm, .html)
and "Web page, Filtered (.htm, .html)

The filtered version removes much of the stuff needed to support Word features.

Dave,

thanks. Of course I use the filtered variant, but the filtering
is by far not sufficient, in my view.
