Microsoft HTML Filter 2.0 (free) does a pretty good job of cleaning up after
word. Not sure about excel though.

Gets rid of *most* of the extraneous code. You will still need to do some
clean-up, just not as much.

Try importing it into HomeSite (not the design view) and then stripping the
tags out. Check the code sweeper settings and sweep it. It should come
close but you'll probably have to go back and add your css.

It probably won't be completely clean, but it should work a little better.
