I have a Ruby script that does something similar. It removes crummy Word formatting and lots of extra, unnecessary tags (tweaked for my job). I use it this way: copy HTML, run script (from keyboard quick launcher) on HTML that's in the clipboard, paste cleaned code. http://gist.github.com/291783

I did and it is better than HTML Tidy in many ways

This is indeed a great tool for those of us who constantly use MS Word for web authoring. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks alot for that script. Not only Word misformatted - even my own written code is sometimes disgusting. So that really helps. Thanks alot!

Wow. What a pain. That HTML thing in word is horrible.

Thanks for sharing the script! Did you try a HTML cleaning tool like HTML Tidy?
