Hi :) The problem with that way is that a ton of excess coding might be saved right along with everything else.
I suspect the o.p. is trying to clean-up a document. Maybe not though in which case your way is really simple and very quick. When people send me stuff for my company's (well my boss's company) newsletter is just paste everything in as unformatted text and then use styles to make it fit in better. Occasionally i go in and apply direct formatting to make numbered lists or bullet-points look right but mostly i don't bother and that makes the whole thing look more consistent internally. I jazz it up a bit with images but mostly the aim seems to be to make it look boring.
