HTML and word

Shaun

I'm trying to put a simple table form excel via word into a format that
doesnt carry all the unecessary html tags that office seems to add on.

Have you tried just a copy and paste out of the html into a Word doc?

Hi Shaun,

It depends in part on what part of the formatting you consider 'essential'.

Word uses a combination of techniques, including CSS styling to describe the layouts. The Save as Web Page feature was designed for
folks to be able to create a web page from an Office document without needing to know anything about HTML beyond learning
'File=>Save As Web Document', plus it retains, as a separate part, all of the original Office file formats not used by browsers so
that if it's reopened by another person or on another computer in the Office app again it regains all of its original Office file
format content and formatting.

For creating 'thin' HTML, MS Office FrontPage was the app targeted to folks who needed more finite controls.

The closest 'built' in for Word is to use
File=>Save As Web Page, Filtered
after first setting all of the controls to minimum browser and feature level in
Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options

It won't strip everything out, but will thin things down. Excel has the same basic capability as Word in this regard.
