Default With a Function, how can I get rid of formating codes like <div ?

I have a refreshable spreadsheet with data imported from Access. When the
data imports, I get Access formatting codes like <div, &nbsp and font codes
(see below). I doing want the end user to have to do a search & replace a
blank, even with a macro. It only happens with memo/comment fields coming
from Access.

<div<font face=Arial size=2 color="#006666"PBA data. (ALL VERSIONS
INCLUDING MONTANA)</font</div <div </div

In an adjacent cell I want to use a function(s) to format the new cell to
look like this = PBA data. ;(ALL VERSIONS INCLUDING MONTANA)

Is that semi-colon a typo? I assumed it was in my response but, if not, what
are the rules for its insertion?
