Clean up MS Word pasted text?

Boy, if there was ever a crying need for a plugin, this is it! All users love to paste from their word docs. God that code is ugly both the source and the results! Still, the word "text editor" is totally foreign to them.

What's an admin to do?

The WYSIWYG editor should support basic word scrubbing.

There are a dozen javascript plugins that also scrub the code, but it's a tough fight: Word HTML is just so freaked that it cannot be changed really well. Mostly because every Word version has a different HTML output :)
