Yes I can. I did.
Also, in the full file there were many other letter-spacing in styles, also not hard to delete: "letter-spacing:.+;"
The problem is that left 300 styles, scores of them identical and many empty. And a file with thousands of spans that were 99% redundant. Every paragraph split by spans, sometimes between letters in a word. That would have taken all day to simplify. Since the "letter-spacing" styles were interspersed with actual necessary formatting, like italics, I could not just delete or unify styles in groups by regex, the only way was one by one.
Letter-spacing in Word exports in body text is
always garbage.
And almost always garbage even in headings.
If you think someone might want this, make it optional.
These tags are not from design choices made by anyone, they are Word trying to mimic the layout in the original page, and that makes no sense with a different font in a different size page.
Maybe in Word changing all fully justified text to left-aligned or monospace before exporting would stop it doing that.
Anyway, just my feedback. Up to you.
