strip msword tags

[peppeto]

Hi,
I have a content mangment system to add,edit news
everything works fine exept when the users copy their text from word document and paste in cms then I get problems with stylesheets and a lot of msword code <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">
The question is how can I remove this code but leave <STYLE><P> <BR> <B>?
Thanx in advance

there is a class called htmlcleaner at phpclasses.org

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/1020.html

the author writes:
Use this class to clean up the mess returned from a MSHTML/IE based WYSIWYG editor in the case your users copy and paste from Word.
It's not remotely as good as htmlTidy, but its pure php.

you could also use strip_tags and specify allowed tags, so only the rest would be stripped off:
