I often paste some crap from some terrible MS Word document into Textmate and then into something else. Don't inquire as to the unholy nature of my burdens such that I'm doing this work, just be thankful it's not you.
Is there a bundle that will clean up those awful fancy double quotes, ellipses, etc, that Word likes to use into plaintext versions? It'd be great.
Thanks all! Long live TextMate.

If by “clean up” you want to transliterate them to ASCII then you can use Bundles → Text → Converting / Stripping → Transliterate to ASCII (hint: use ⌃⌘T and enter ‘tran’ or ‘ascii’ to quickly get at it).
The same submenu also has a function to remove unprintable characters.
