copy from word into a formatting text box

[mikewooten]

Hello,
I am using a formatting text box, for example, like the one in this forum or like the one in the image that I have attached.


I can copy content/text, links, etc.. from a word document into the formatting text box.
When I copy content from word and paste it into the formatting text box and click on the HTML to view and edit the HTML, I see alot of coding from word, what i would like to know is, without handcoding all this, is there a way to get rid of the word coding when i paste it into the formatting text box?
I know I can just use HTML and format the content that way, but im would like to know if its just the way the formatting text box has been formatted or if there is another way to get rid of the word coding and have clean code in the formatting text box.
thank you very much
