Microsoft Word 2002 Unmunger
The Word Unmunger is a small Python program which removes much of the HTML cruft produced by Microsoft Word 2002 (Word version 10), making the files much easier to edit by hand. It removes XML namespace declarations, smart tags, meta tags, HTML comments, style sheets, DIVs, the Microsoft Office file list, CSS classes, and Microsoft Office grammar and spelling error markers.

Changes: The program no crashes on larger documents due to limitations in Python's default regular expression implementation (sre). The pre implementation is now used instead. A debug mode that prints regular expressions as they're used was added, along with more robust handling of command line arguments.
