Does anybody knows of a good application to get it done quickly and efficiently ?

I bought Word Cleaner but the results are merely sufficient and I need to go over all the generated html files to clean tons of useless injected tags like

<strong>H</strong><strong>ell</strong><strong>o </strong><em>Wor</em><em>ld</em>


Most of the articles displayed on a website I manage are based on documents written on MS Word by people how has little idea of what are margins for or ordered/unordered lists, foot/end notes etc and I cannot make them use something else.

Does anyone has a tip to help me handle those pages more efficiently than going over them to correct and apply my CSS style ?

NB: Just for the record, using "Save as HTML DOC" in Word is faaar worst than Word cleaner

This is what me and the team here at work use when bringing MS Word content to HTML:
word2cleanhtml.com/
We check all the boxes, paste the code, then convert.

I hope that helps.

I think the best solution for this would be using a WYSIWYG editor.
TinyMCE, for example, it's a good one - although i suspect you might need a standalone one.
The usage would be similar to any word-like program, but the output would be straight HTML.
Also, have you tried other word-like programs, as OpenOffice or LibreOffice? The HTML it's not great, as it has lots of inline styling, but from a quick test it looks like it doesn't have the problem of lots of unnecessary tags.
