Yup, this is a well known problem with Wikis, which we and a few US
companies are attempting to fix.  JotSpot (http://www.jot.com/) have
the most complete Word-like WYSIWYG solution, but their solution is
focused at the intranet market, so it can't be used as a CMS.  We have
tried to focus at both intranet and web hosting markets, but our
WYSIWYG capabilities aren't very mature.  At the moment we're
negotiating with a customer who will hopefully pay for us to extend
COCANWIKI with excellent WYSIWYG caps.
