I am running our Parish Website and we want to add the weekly newsletter.
My problem is that the lady that does the typing of this is not very
computer savvy. She can manage to produce it in Word and I have shown
her how to upload it using an ftp program. So far so good.

Can anyone suggest something that is absolutely dead simple and idiot
proof? (Not that she is - but you know what I mean!!) There is no budget
to buy any software either! (I did toy with the idea of installing a
copy of Dreamweaver on her machine as I could make sure I wasn't using
it that day and then it was on another machine of mine (!!!) but when
she saw it she nearly freaked out! So that's another idea washed out!)
How about a simple text-box that just uploads the text to a database?
Show her how to cut and paste into the box and voila, she can produce
the newsletter in Word, copy and paste it into the box, hit a button and
it's in a database in plain-text to be fully customised and styled
however you want.
HTH,
