I'm using MS word 2007 to create and maintain some web pages.
I can save the rtf format in html.

However, MS is not a full html editor (not to mention that even while saving as 'Filtered html' is still adds alot of extra unecessary stuff to the html file) and so I must embed some html of my own. I would like to simply maintain the rtf word file alone without having to constantly edit the saved html file.

One way I see doing this is to tell MS Word that certain sections are to be treated as pure text.

Even when I use quotes (or some other delimiters), MS Word still transforms the results of the stuff in quotes that required too much manual editing.

Is there a way of telling Word (say using some special escape sequence)
that the following section is to be just pure text?
