Well, they are BE users. They have the possibility to write, edit and delete 
their own posts in their own structure in Typo3. They could do that in BE 
and in FE. However. I think they wouldn't have the time to understand how 
it's done.. ..and i don't have the time and money to give them all a manual 
or to tell them all how it's done. Well.. an easy (has to be really really 
easy, with lots of images..) manual which tells them how everything works, 
doesn't  really exists. (and i'm talking about 200-300 users)

So i thought of the problem. As we all know, it's possible to write a page 
in Word. Copy that with STRG+C and paste it via STRG+V into the Rich Text 
Editor of Typo3. In general, Typo3 gets that text and converts it into HTML. 
Then you may be able to delete that Word codes with an extension of the Typo 
RT editor.

Then you can save your document..

So, my question is, if it's possible to have a wizzard in Word, which shows 
your structure in Typo3 and gives you the possibility to 
upload/download/write/edit and delete your documents, which the wizzard 
would converts from Word files into HTML (or clearly said that database 
files Typo3 uses..)

It would be a lot easyer for the users, because they already know how Word 
works..
