Different media for different generations. But transitions from one type of media to another — and one type of communication method to another — seem to be speeding up. (Or maybe it's me slowing down.) I've paper'd, landline-phoned, sliderule'd, calculator'd, typewriter'd, audio-system'd (45, 33 lp, reel-to-reel, cassette, cd, mp3), computer'd, video-system'd (cassette, dvd), BBposted, online-service'd, IRC'd, IM'd, cellphoned, smartphoned, e-inked, tablet'd, streamed. Rarely texted. Never tweeted. Never skyped or facetimed.

His and Her outhouses? Luxury! We had to share one.

Next step, reload the document under a test name. Search for the markers for bold and italic. Change the bold and italic to bold... italic.
Now try saving the document as html.
This should remove a great deal of the excess formatting.
