I'm not sure I qualify as a wizard, but I'll rise 
to the bait!  Try searching for
<[^>]*>
and replacing with nothing.  The circumflex means 
"not", and combined with ">" in (square) brackets 
as [^>] matches any character which is not 
">".  The asterisk extends this to match zero or 
more of such characters.  Combined with "<" and 
">", this matches what you need.

I trust this helps.
