All works very nicely with the user having to do nothing more than hit the upload button. However, we would like to allow the user to get a bit fancy with the text.

I would have no problem in calling another editor with run /n to launch that editor (with the desired doc name) and having it then save the user text in HTML. The problem is the editor would have to be extremely easy to use, not the standard HTML editor with a hundred controls. My users only know how to type and press the save button. Anything more complex and my phone starts ringing. I just need to set color, font name and size and insert a URL.
