 When copying a word document over to create a new page, the formatting
 carries over...mostly. But when you look at the content in code view there
 are extra tags that is added which make the code look sloppy.

 Here is a sample of the extraneous code added when viewing the code;

 <p><strong>S</strong><strong>H</strong><strong>A</strong><strong>RING
 INFORMATION WITH ADVERTISERS </strong><strong>OR </strong><strong>OTHER
 THIRD
 </strong><strong>P</strong><strong>A</strong><strong>R</strong><strong>T</strong><strong>I</strong><strong>E</strong><strong>S</strong></p>

 Why is it adding a strong tag around each character?

 I am adding a screengrab of the Dev Tools and of WordPress 5.0 UI.
