If you find yourself having to grab content off older websites and have to remove inline styles - or worse inline javascript! - use this code in Dreamweaver's find and replace dialog :
---- for style attribute -----
in the Find box :
(<[^>]*)style\s*=\s*('|")[^\2]*?\2([^>]*>)
in the Replace box :
$1$3
so the following
<a href="http://www.website.com" style="color:red;">Click here</a>
will be reduced to
<a href="http://www.website.com" >Click here</a>
---------
actually you could remove any tag attribute by replacing the 'style' with the name of the attribute you want to remove
