Convert Word to clean HTML
February 8, 2008Despite the HTML filter option, Word documents saved as HTML are bloated with unnecessary code.
One product I recommend that produces squeaky clean HTML from Word is WordCleaner (available from http://www.zapadoo.com; US$99; free trial version)
WordCleaner does lots of other stuff too, and you can set up your own templates to dictate what HTML to keep from Word, if any.
I was so impressed with my evaluation, I bought my own copy!
Update (29 February 2008): Version 4 has now been released which cleans up RTF and TXT files too, and doesn’t require Word to be installed. It also supports Word 2007 formats.

Thank you so much for this. Ive been struggling to convert Word docs to html. The HTML filter option gives so much of unnecessary codes that really drives me up the wall. Abhishek http://www.dibugs.com
