Copying from rtf file into FP2000

First off, I've inherited this process, so I can understand if there is a better solution than what I am about to ask.

I upgraded my machine from Windows 98 to 2000, and along with it upgraded Frontpage 98 to 2000.

When I try to copy and paste a list of members (generated through an Access query, and published into Word {both 2000} rtf file.  I am getting a bunch of additional HTML code that I have never had when I was using the 98's.

After pasting into FP98 this is what the HTML page would look like:
<br>
1040 Kids Inc<br>
69th St Fifth-Madison Association<br>
82nd Street Business Improvement District<br>
A Better World Fund<br>
<a href="http://www.members.petfinder.org">A Cause for Paws (ACFP)</a><br>
<a href="http://www.adarc.org">Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center</a><br>
<a href="http://www.alba-valb.org">Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives</a><br>
Academy for Cultural Enrichment<br>

When I try the same thing in FP2000 I get :
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:.05pt;mso-pagination:none;tab-stops:4.5pt;
mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:black'>A Better World Fund&lt;br&gt;</span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:.05pt;mso-pagination:none;tab-stops:4.5pt;
mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:black'>&lt;a href=http://www.members.petfinder.org>;
A Cause for Paws (ACFP)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

What is all of this and how do I get rid of it when copying and pasting?
