Free tool that removes clutter from Microsoft Word 2000-generated html-code.
(Developers: Buy the source code - click here...)
It is well-known that Microsoft Word is a lot less than perfect when it comes
to generating HTML-code. The "Save as web page"-function in Microsoft Word
generates files that are about ten times as large as they should be. This is because
the code is filled with a lot of page formatting tags in order to be able to present
the document in Microsoft Office-programs (Word+Powerpoint). This "code bloat"
is useless in a web context and potentially harmful to presentation in any other
browser than Internet Explorer.
The problem not only arises when using the "Save as web page"-option. You get
the same mess when copying text from Word to a Wysiwyg-editor (i.e. Frontpage)
or in many cases to a Content Management System.
