Is there a plugin for cleaning up strange Confluence formatting?

Question

Quite often we find that tags start appearing in our Confluence pages. The source is stuff that we have entered by hand (not imported). I believe this happens after a certain amount of editing. The results of this are: * Slightly strange-looking headings (that are actually formatted as "Paragraph", list items that have very little space between them. * When we export to Word (using the k15t Scroll Office plugin) all hell breaks loose: whole paragraphs become headings, a set of list items becomes a single paragraph, and so on. The fix is to go into the source editor, and remove all the tags one by one. Any ideas? Thanks Phil (Confluence 4.2.1)

Good thinking, thanks!

(I would still prefer a plugin that I could launch on all the Confluence pages that go into our user guide before exporting them.)

I used Source Editor for a while but in the end I discovered that it makes a mess with my pages so I stop using it.

You can also highlight the wacko content and clear the formatting.
