I'm a newbie and still trying to figure out how to have my users produce
content and maintain an standard look.

   * The problem is that 99.9% of the users in our departments don't
     know a thing about HTML but want to publish spreadsheets or word
     documents they produced. Easy so far, they just save their
     documents as HTML from Word or Excel and forget about it. The
     problem is that I want to maintain a standard look and feel through
     headers, footers and CSS but to do so I need to manually edit each
     file they upload to Zope. Is there a better way?

I thought of using frames that would solve the problem with the
headers/footers but still don't know how to override the
fonts/margins/etc to maintain the same look in each page. Any ideas on a
more complete solution?
