Hi :) I find it easier to stick to using styles and then sometimes edit the styles as a i go along.
I don't know of any format that doesn't throw in tons of extra formatting. Rtf is probably the one with the least extra random bits of unused code but it's a legacy format that is out dated already. Have you compared with the coding in other formats? I think Odt manages to a void a lot of the personal information that gets stored in Doc and DocX. I've not really looked at other formats much.
