    Can you help me simplify the Word workflow?

    My editors forward web copy in Microsoft Word 2003-2010 in a formatted document.  I copy the text to CuteEditor running in DotNetNuke 5.x.  I want the text to take on the CSS of the website so I need relatively clean code that is ready to have the CSS styles applied. 
     
    Unfortunately, when I use the Paste from MS Word option in CuteEditor, the margins and font styles from the Word document are transferred in the HTML.  So I tried another way: When I use the Paste as Plain Text option in CuteEditor, the Word Doc converts into HTML with BR tags so that I can't use CSS without manually removing the BR tags and replacing them with P tags to take the styles.  I also cannot use numbering or bullets without hand recoding.
     
    Right now, CuteEditor has decreased our efficiency dramatically--taking almost an hour per page to reformat after CE brings in the Word doc.  Is there a better workflow or CE editor setting that will help us get things done in a faster time frame?
