I’m not sure if this will strip all MS Word code out, but I’ve been using this custom function successfully on a project.

Pass $post->post_content to this function:

function strip_msword_tags($content){

	// Strip <span></span> tags
	$content = preg_replace('/<span.*?>/', '', $content);
	$content = str_replace('</span>', '', $content);

	// Turn <div><br /></div> into </p><p>
	$content = str_replace('<div><br /></div>', '</p><p>', $content);

	// Strip <div></div> tags
	$content = str_replace('<div>', '', $content);
	$content = str_replace('</div>', '', $content);

	// Apply WP filters
	$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);

	return $content;
}

Hope that helps someone.
