Not very long ago, I was invited by one of the MS Word product groups to join a discussion about blog posting functionality in the Office 12 version of Word. It was a lively and interesting meeting, and I came away cautiously optimistic about their plans.
Now that I’m running v2 of the Office 12 beta, I’m able to test the posting functionality. Setup was surprisingly smooth—it offers wizard-like options for the main hosting services (Blogger, TypePad, Spaces, etc), but also supports the MetaWeblog API, so I was able to quickly and easily input the information for my Movable Type blog.
All in all, I’m very favorably impressed with what they’ve done. Now I hope the Mac team implements something similar in their next release!
