Content editors and Contribute

[GretchenG]

I am the webmaster, and I want the content editor to edit pages from her
computer.
The manuals discuss the key and somewhere it mentions that users can edit
pages in Micorsoft Word, but nowhere does it say that the content editors must
have Contribute and/or Dreamweaver on their computer. Do they?

Could someone please enlighten me on this simple and probably very obvious
point?:confused;

Hello GretchenG,

Upon installing Contribute 4, you have the option to install the Contribute
plug-in to MS Office Applications. It is this plug in that would allow you to
edit pages in MS Office Applications and publish it to the website. However,
the plug-in still requires the actual Contribute application for it to work.

To answer your question, Contribute is still required on the users' machines
if they are to edit/publish content to the website.
