sure thing.
There is a RTE extension called "RTE" which is based on IE5.5+ with 
ActiveX enabled.
This extension is shipped with TYPO3 by default and it is rather old (~4 
years).
In the meantime the need for a cross platform RTE came up.
There is a good RTE replacement called "htmlArea".
However, you will have to install it manually (about 4 mouseclicks and 
no administrative knowledge needed).
This extension will become the new default RTE in the next TYPO3 release 
thus removing the old RTE (the windows based one).

Things cleared up?

all the best
Mathias
