I used to have a good tool to remove all the Word-specific muck, but unfortunately that does not run on Vista and higher...
Toxaris: I use the BookDesigner template...it's available somewhere around here on MobileRead, and that works perfectly to preserve italics, fortunately. So I load the template; run the macro to tag the italics; strip the formatting; I apply a base font by modifying the normal font, then re-italicize the text with the built-in macro, save it and export it to html. Any other way simply leads to madness, IMHO...and believe me, I've tried them ALL. OO, Atlantis...I've actually lost track of everything I've tried.

HTH.
