I've just been working on a site for a client who thought they could do it themselves in Word. They sent me the results, which didn't make any sense to man or beast, not even in IE. I asked them for the Word files, from which at least I could get the relevant text to mark up by hand.
Many of the pages are articles that would run to a couple of pages if printed, so we're not talking huge tracts of stuff here. Word's HTMLised versions came in at around the 22k mark. My marked-up-by-hand ones come in round about 7.5k.

14k of extraneous markup? WTF?
