Tips & Warnings
You can also use the Edit > Find and Replace to remove font tags from an entire directory or site, but it requires searching for an exact match and you may miss some. The Clean Up HTML command removes any font tag.

Edward, thanks for your comment. One of the best things about Dreamweaver is the redundancy of choices about how things can be done. You can pick the way that works best for you.

It's really easy to remove tags with Dreamweaver ... simply highlight the selection including the tags you want to remove ... Right Click ... Drill Down into 'selection' and then select 'Remove All Tags '

Great advice! It makes going back and bringing older sites to compliance that much easier! It also helps to save a copy of original page before you start! 5*
