Here is an example regular expression that someone on this group gave
me. It
gives everything between the body tags.


Untitled


Blah Blah Blah Blah


';
preg_match("/(.*)<\/body>/i",$html_text,$matches);
echo $html_text;
?>

Here is a class that removes un-needed word 2000 HTML tags:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/277.html

If you need the styling you will need to do an extra regular expression
to
get out of the head and perhaps put it into a file.
If you don't need styling I would recomment parsing the document itself
and
removing all the class="" and style="" attributes
