There's bound to be any number of free CMS stuff out there, have you
tried http://hotscripts.com ?
If it was me. I would re-write the thing entirely. I just write the
code, I don't use a program. I would use a database for the content,
and have allowed users to update their relevant sections.
Does it have to be in a MS Word style? I would just use simple text.
Good luck.

Or look at an easy to use CMS - I don't know anything about Sharepoint
but TYPO3 is *horribly* difficult to use. Look at Mambo. (I always say
that.)

Take a look at www.websitebaker.com also. It's very user friendly,
much more than mambo. And also free.
