Hi Mark

Unfortunately, Word has this as part of its internal formatting,
and it carries over if you copy/paste into a visual editor.

Cheers

I have a feeling that the MSO stuff is generated by Word when you choose to
"Save as HTML". Tell your user that you'll burn their house down if they
use
this option in Word again, as it creates (buggy) HTML code that is
(approximately) 2000% bigger than it needs to be.
