Here is an example regular expression that someone on this group gave me. It
gives everything between the body tags.
<?php
$html_text = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
Blah Blah Blah Blah
</body>
</html>
';
preg_match("/<body>(.*)<\/body>/i",$html_text,$matches);
echo $html_text;
?>
Here is a class that removes un-needed word 2000 HTML tags:

If you need the styling you will need to do an extra regular expression to
get out of the head and perhaps put it into a file.
If you don't need styling I would recomment parsing the document itself and
removing all the class="" and style="" attributes
