Easy way to remove Microsoft Word formatting from rich text fields?

When I export my data from Creator into Excel, I notice that the rich text form fields contain a lot of unnecessary Microsoft Word formatting code embedded - such as...

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
 <w:WordDocument>
  <w:View>Normal</w:View>
  <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>
  <w:PunctuationKerning/>
  <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/>
  <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>
  <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent>
  <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>
  <w:Compatibility>
etc.

Is there any way to clean this mess up, other than going into each individual record and using the remove formatting button?
