Kirk, Yes, that’s an issue. I’ve also found that the stuff received from Word is highly variable. I’ve never been sufficiently motivated to write code to extract the useful stuff, I’m afraid, or I’d let you have it.
As far as the toggling goes, “display multistyle” is, I think, just that: it affects display only. If you have multistyle text and you turn off the multistyle display, you see all the <span> and similar directives: they are regarded as part of the text and so are no longer interpreted.
