Is the text in the same place in all the files? If so record a macro in Word.

From HTML::TokeParser::Simple (search.cpan.org), assuming 5.6.x or earlier:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w


use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;


my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $somefile );

while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
# This prints all text in an HTML doc (i.e., it strips the HTML)
next unless $token->is_text;
print $token->as_is;
}

If that's too high a level you can use HTML::TokeParser. 'Course you'll have to modify this to iterate over all your files and put the filename in $somefile, which will have to be relatively or absolutely pathed.

(aren't there any [CODE] tags?)
