Here's a "clean up nasty Word styles" example
done in a JS-based rich
text editor:

-might be worth looking at the code.

consuming and reporting on key elements within them was
difficult. This year we chose to break up the application
into sections that our organization, as well as our grant
reviewers, could manage and evaluate more easily. The grant
application is entered into rich text boxes across several
screens and the rich text editor constrains the text
formatting to our organization's guidelines (limiting font,
font size and character count, as uniformity aids in our
grant review process), provides scientific and mathematical
symbols, and image upload. It also allows applicants to
create a duplicate version in which they blind all proper
names. Even though the grant application is broken up into
sections, it prints as a single document.

we adapted) worked well this year if applicants composed
their grant application directly into it online. However,
many applicants compose their grant applications in Word
(they may be applying to more than one organization) and
when they pasted their text from Word into our rich text
boxes we had many issues with the hidden tags and other
things that didn't play well with our application. Our
developers work in asp.net and we are looking at Cute Editor
(http://cutesoft.net/) as
a possible solution.
