Blogging With MS Word 2007

Just got the trial version of MS Word 2007 and I know it can publish blog posts. So just testing it. Till now it looks good although it is not as cool as Windows Live Writer (the recent version is even better). They have totally revamped the interface of Word. Will take some time getting used to it. I was easily able to select multiple categories. You can insert quotes and various headings too…it has got almost everything a typical desktop blogging tool should have.

I’ll check how the markup of the post is generated once I publish this entry.

Update: Just checked the markup. It’s actually good. In fact if you use MS Word 2007 and if you are not crazy about cutting-edge blogging tools then this version of Word is an excellent blog publishing solution.

A glitch: It doesn’t let me enter plain HTML. For instance, sometimes I insert AdSense code by using <!–adsense–>. I’m not able to do it in Word 2007. Got any idea?

I’ll stick to Windows Live writer because it lets me switch to different views (layout, HTML, etc.) quickly and I need this feature to write content for my clients.
