Edit html code from Microsoft Word

I’ve pasted a Word document into a RapidWeaver Styled sheet. I’d like to “clean up” the code that Word created, eliminate some of the line breaks , for example. I can open the page in Source view and see the code while in Edit mode in RW, but I can’t seem to edit or make changes in the code. I know this is a novice question, and a bunch of you will have ready answers for which I am grateful in advance.

Normally, you would paste the text in, highlight it and clear the formatting, then format within RW.

You can also paste as plain text from the edit menu option+command+V. If the word document has already been copied, you can select it (highlight) cut it (command+x) and paste as plain text (command+option+v).

@swilliam and @teefers are right. Word’s HTML code is so messy that you’re much better just copying the plain text and then adding formatting.
