You should use the option of saving as "compact HTML". Sorry, I haven't got
Word 2003, and I'm too tired to open even Word 2002 to check where exactly
you can find the option, but the point is that Word is able to save a
document in a relatively pure HTML format, with much of the Office noise
removed. Then you just have to delete the stylesheet (<style> element) and
either leave the document unstyled or write a simple and robust stylesheet
to your taste. You may also need to remove lots of WIDTH attributes if you
have tables, so you need a good editor or a lot of patience and care.

Within the _element_?

The _tag_? I suppose you mean the element content.
Without seeing the patient, I won't make a guess on what's going on, but the
spaces might be no-break spaces, which look just like spaces in most
editors. Anyway, maybe this problem will just go away if you save the
document as "compact HTML". If not, I guess we need a URL.
