Writing Blog Post
Creating your blog post is similar as it was in Office 2007, but now there are additional features. One of the cooler features is taking screenshots and placing them directly into your post. To learn how the Screenshot feature works check out our article… How To Take Screenshots with Word 2010.
After you are ready to publish your post, go to the Publish button under the Blog Post tab.
A confirmation screen will come up while Word is contacting the service.
Word 2007
Yep, you can also create and publish blogs in Word 2007, just minus the new editing features included in Word 2010.
Word 2007 and 2010 have come a long way over the past few years, and include a lot of awesome document creation utilities. If you already use Word for your document creation, now you can create and publish blog posts too, without having to install and learn new software. Remember that Office 2010 Beta is available for anyone to download and use at the time of this writing.
