This is not possible yet but might be a side-effect of the WebDAV
implementation.

Currently, there is only support for importing Word 2003 and OpenOffice.org
SXW files...

It's the same like driving a car... ;-)
I think it's not our problem if they are too stupid...

They can do all of this but just need to fiddle around with a new tool
besides the Windows desktop.

If these people don't even know what a browser is, I really doubt if they
really want to have their own website...?

> They wouldn't understand anything.. So it has to be easy..

Windows is easy. That's probably why so many people do things without
thinking about it. Just think about all these viruses which would never
spread that fast if people wouldn't click on the attachments all the time.

Well, maybe this is OT, but it's the reason why I think that too much of
easiness is dangerous...

My suggestion: Let these people send you their word files and offer a
service for them to manage the publication on the web.

Not a technical solution, but a very easy one...
