Does anyone know of any software to de-Wordify HTML?

I can't find the software forum anymore, so I'm asking here.

Someone created an HTML template in Word that I have to use for something, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Any software to fix the mess?

Microsoft Word perhaps? Just a thought.

Dreamweaver has an option to clean up Word HTML. It's under Commands -> Clean up Word HTML (at least on Mac). I never have used it personally but it could be something to check out

Word itself can do it. Open the HTML file in Word and SAVE AS a text file.Do that by Ctrl A, Copy, and Paste into Notepad. The HTML code will be gone.

I don't think he wants to remove the HTML code itself, just the craptastic coding of HTML that word does (i.e. it adds about 3 bajillion lines of crap)

Tmoney468 has the best idea. I know that Dreamweaver MX 2004 has the option (only version I have). I think you can get dreamweaver trials too.

I waded through the crap in emacs. Managed to get it to work. Still looks horrible in Firefox though. 😛

Word is a word processor, not an HTML editor. 😉
