You can also use FP's "remove formatting" feature. This will remove all those FP tags everyone is referring to.

Go to the page in question. Open it in normal view. Select all > format > remove formatting. This will remove most, if not all of the MS specific code.

By the way, DW is also guilty of inserting its own mangled coding or at least that was my experience when I had planned to convert. I stuck with FP because I figured out how to make the program produce validated html code without all the junk. It takes a whole five minutes and you can configure FP to do what you want it to do.

tools > page options > html source > reformat using the rules below. Do this while in normal view. Then switch to html view, strip out the two FP meta tags and go to tools > page options > html source > preserve existing formatting.

P.S. You can view the site in my profile and tell me if you see any FP mangling. If you utilize the program correctly, it stands head to head with any other WYSIWYG editor out there!

I should also mention that the use of external style sheets is important if you want lean, clean coding from any html editor.
