I find the Word-like javascript editors sometimes are too complicated and
have too many functions for the requirements and for the users.

In this case a plain textarea with simple inline markup codes like Textile
is the way to go. Very simple to add bullets, bold, etc. and even not too
bad to do basic tables, and outputs valid XHTML.

Just a thought.
