Problems with the editor in wp

Hi, I’ve got a client who is finding it frustrating to format content using the WordPress editor.
I have installed TinyMCE, and disable auto paragraph to try to help. Currently, they are writing divs into the html to layout content based on the grid. This isn’t ideal for the client because they don’t know html well and so it’s a litle problematic.

To paraphrase my client

“Lastly, the whole HTML/Visual editor thing is really driving me crazy. I mean I’m just typing in straight clean html and it still f**ks up half the time… I don’t know if there’s anything else you can do, but I’d be happy just to enter html and not have it reformatted. If nothing else can be done, we’ll manage anyway.”

So what I’m asking is can anyone give me some advice on how to make the editor more user friendly for a client using it in a CMS context.

Thanks
