Microsoft Word has been moving towards full integration with OpenXML and those xml namespace tags are part of the Word output.

However most rich text web editors (TinyMCE FCKeditor etc) will parse the Word output properly. The Lycos app is partly at fault here.

Have you tried saving the Word Doc as HTML and using that?

Alternatively, I would recommend using a "real" web editor such as CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver.

As you progress in your knowledge, you will be able to use a full featured text editor such as EditPlus Notepad++ or others...
