Web based cleaning

Another excellent method for larger or more complicated documents is to use an online Word Cleaner. The one I prefer is called "Textism" and it's free to use for documents smaller than 20K. For larger documents there is an annual fee costing about $28 (20 euros). Believe me it's worth it.

Textism does an excellent job at cleaning Word HTML, leaving only P, BR and the occasional CENTER tag (which is why it's not a good idea to center text in Word. Once again, leave it to the CSS).

Textism is also very easy to use. Just save your MS Word document as HTML and upload it  to Textism web site. It will return the cleaned code and the old code for comparison. It's quite staggering how much junk Word leaves behind and it's not a wonder that it breaks websites so often.
