there is an example file in the attachment.

all you need to do is upload the fckeditor folder into your working directory and change the path in the example file.

I would generally caution against fckEditor for its lack of MS-Word support. Other than that it runs pretty neck and neck with tinyMCE.

tinyMCE however has a wonderful paste from word feature that really does an excellent job of stripping all of the crap markup from the input. If you know you won't be taking input from a user who writes first in word than either one should perform exceptionally.
