Okay, I've tried a million variations of this regex in studio, and none of
them work. All I want to do is dump all the stupid left-over word html
spans....

So that stuff like this:
<span style='font-size:8.0pt;'>Activity</span>

Becomes this:
Activity

I've tried:
<span.*>(.*)</span>

In studio I get a bad _expression_ error.

In Dreamweaver, it finds some stuff, but doesn't find anything with funky
white space. So, I tried
<span.*>([.\s\r\n\t]*)</span>
Which I _think_ says:
find the literal text "<span"
followed by any number of additional characters
followed by the literal ">"
followed by any number of charaters, spaces, carriage returns, line feeds or
tabs (and remember this chunk)
followed by the literal text "</span>"

But, it doesn't find anything, even though there are hundreds like this:
<span style='font-size:8.0pt;'>Selecting
          key child development topics to teach others</span>

What am I missing? (I so suck at regex.)
