But I don't own Dreamweaver and I see from checking the Adobe site for Dreamweaver it only runs on MS WinBlows and MaOSuX. I am really looking for a solution that will work on Linux! :-) There must be some set of scripts somewhere that will do this. I cannot POSSIBLY be the first person who has run into this and wants to clean up text or html output from MS Office. I tried searching through google and freshmeat but I must not be putting in the right search terms. -----Original Message----- >From: Stephen >Sent: May 4, 2009 10:50 AM >To: "Steven A.
