To prevent FP2000 from changing code go to:

Page Options
HTML Source
Check Preserve Existing HTML

As for Word 2000, it's best if you can convince people to not use it as an
HTML editor. Even with the so-called compact HTML filter, which inflates
files 200% rather than 400%, the norm for its XML-HTML hybrid. Even then,
cleanup is a big problem.

Any file with a lot of strange/nonstandard/FUBARed/ code may be better off
with a manual reformat, after using CTRL-A, Format, Remove all formatting,
which does leave heading codes intact, but removes extraneous font tags.
