    Get HTML-Kit -- it is free, and in my opinion the best Web Authoring Editor available.

    You could give the client access to a txt file that they can edit on the server, and then use php to include it.

    You could also try something like openWYSIWYG

    That can't be used to alter text in a document without using a server side language and storing the text in a database (of some kind, or even plain text document)... can it?

    To the OP: I don't think so, you don't however have to use a pre buit CMS, that would be a bit overkill.

    If I were you, I would store the text in a database, then use PHP and some simple SQL to pull the text from the database. I would then have a simple "admin" backend page, that would have something like HTML kit that overwrites the text stored in the database. Then the user has the ability to update the text.

    Hope that made sense. Nick

    You could also use Macromedia Contribute. Actually I guess it is Adobe's Contribute now. (http://www.adobe.com/products/contribute/). At any rate, it is specifically designed to allow you to set contributing editors up to alter the content of a site, but never have to see any HTML or other underlying code. Very useful for the tasks you are looking at.
