if you just want to get rid of the span tags in dreamweaver use the "clean up html" command and add
span to the specific tags box and check the tick box. you can add a comma separated list here to
remove any tags you need to remove.
html tidy has an option to convert inline styles to a style block in the head also.
if you want more control you can't beat a regular expression (regex), search and replace
(http://www.funduc.com/) will search directories based on a regex or a little perl/php script will
also do the job.
i also found this, which could be useful for getting people to use word to create a structured
document in the first place.

When I used the Office HTML Filter tool (v2.0), I managed to get rid of all
the span tags, (look at the options), you're still going to need to run tidy
over it and alter the html headers I expect, but this worked for me.
Otherwise you could do a search and replace for the span tags in
Dreamweaver.
Hope this helps,
Russ

thanks to Steven, Russell and Don Stephani,
As for topic Nazis, Ashcroft is hiring! (daily prayer meetings required)

I saved from WORD to HTML, ran the "cleanup word HTML" command in
Dreamweaver and then ran "TIDY". The HTML is looking good but still lots of
redundant "SPAN" tags I would like to convert... is there a good CSS program
that you can tell to take batches of SPAN tags and change them?
Thanks for the help CSS-discus! Any other advice on crunching
hundreds of pages from word into CSS would be appreciated.
