Add him a "huge fonts" button: insertTags("<span class=\"huge\">",
"</span>", "This text will show HUGE"); (with appropiate 'huge' CSS:
font-size: 200%; color: red... etc)

Copy a bulleted list to a plain text editor. How is that show? Oh, *
before the elements...
May be tricky to find first time, but it's easier to type than find
appropiate button on some hidden toolbar.

Give him a document to proofread, but forbid him using the menus or
toolbars. Unless being a "convinced techstaff" knowing by heart the
access keys, it's impossible.

That's the problem.
