Sorry Jinn. I didn't mean to pre-empt you. Though as the site now displays HTML I shall certainly be submitting in that format. I'm sure everyone agrees that the stories are so much nicer to read then monospaced text.

Actually, there is also a HTML export tool in MSWord (for 2000 at least) which reduced its file size by 45%, and yet it STILL contains some superfluous formatting.

Here's the link

It's a quick and easy install that anyone who needs to export to HTML should be using.

I'll keep a look out for more clean-up tools.
