Remove formatting from html table, saved as "Web Page, Filtered"   

I have a very large html table created by Word, saved as "Web Page,
Filtered" file type. Every html table cell has lots of formatting
tags. Most of the file size is that formatting.

Is there a way to quickly remove all html formatting to minimize the
file size, leaving only the bare html table and plain text in the
table cells?

My project requires an actual html table, not plain text. But aside
from the table itself, I don't need any formatting. I tried copying
the table to a few freeware html editors, but wasn't able to find a
quick way to clean it up, other than manually deleting it from tens of
thousands of table cells.


Thanks,

Greg

I frequently use the search and replace option in Notepad.
4-6 replaces' while skimming through the file for bloat seems to take 
most items.
