When styling text in Joomla editor we get a lot of extra code and have to go back and clean it out. For example instead of <p> we get:
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">
How do I prevent this from happening?

When styling text in Joomla editor
How are you styling the text? Are you selecting something from the Styles list?

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Actually I think I was doing a copy-paste from a text file. I bet using the remove formatting and cleanup HTML or bringing it in as raw text would take care of it. Unfortunately the editors posting new articles aren't that careful.

If the authors are pasting in the content, you can set the Clipboard parameters (Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> Clipboard) to remove the classes, by setting the Strip Class Attributes option to Yes.

Will that remove bold, ital, etc. as well?
Also, I don't see 'Clipboard' under Plugin Parameters

No, it will only remove the class attribute, eg: <p class="p1"> becomes <p> etc.
An easier option is to set the Clean Up Mode option to "Clean HTML". This will paste clean HTML without class or style attributes (but keep <strong>, <em> etc.)

You need to ensure the "Cut,Copy,Paste" buttons have been added to the editor toolbar in the Features & Layout tab. This enables those options. You can then "remove" the buttons if required by unchecking them in the Clipboard parameters.
