When saving a file as html in Microsoft Word, the file is typically filled with bloated excessive markup. By removing this markup, your html code will be more usable and readable.

When microsoft added a save to html feature, many people thought this would help them transition to the web. Yeah, right.

All the excessive Microsoft markup makes editing or formatting that content almost impossible.

However, the most recent versions of Microsoft Word have added a new Save as feature: Web Page, Filtered. This saves this all the extra markup.

1. Open Document in Microsoft Word
2. Click File
3. Click Save As
4. From the drop down box select Web Page, Filtered
5. Click Save button
