Use Microsoft Word 2007 For Offline Blogging

2nd Nov, 2009 | No Comment | Posted in Blogging by Alex Jose

Many of the bloggers use Live Writer or some other offline blogging applications to work with there blogs. Most of the offline blogging tools lacks many features that when compared to a Word Processor. But what happend if you come to know that the most powerful word processor Mocrisoft Word can help you in this case. Microsoft word 2007 came with this option, that allows the user to publish the post made to the blog. If MS Word has this facility then why should we use an appilcation just for this purpose that too with little features.

Here’s how to go about it.

The first time you fire it up through – Office Button —> New —> Blog Post, MS Office asks you to setup an account. You can also get around to your account through the ‘Manage Account’ button on the menu ribbon. The Blog accounts box allows you to add, delete, and set passwords and picture options for your accounts.

If the blog API allows the direct upload of pictures, you can set the picture uploading options too or keep it at ‘none’.

With the account setup completed, writing and posting is a cinch. The intuitive Word interface gives you two tabs to work with your posts – Blog Post and Insert. These two tabs bring all the user friendliness of Office to structure your post. After finishing the post, one can either ‘Publish’ or ‘Publish as draft’.
