  Hi Mark,

  That sounds like a cool function. I don’t have MS Word anymore since I switched laptops I only use Open Office. Great to see that they move ahead in the world though.

  Hi Monika, thank you for your prompt PM reply! I’m a bit hesitant to admit it but I don’t mind MSFT products. I picked up Office 2007 a little while ago & when I rebuilt this machine - gave the hard disk a spring clean - I installed the new version. This is a function I only just discovered, & it took all of 1 minute to configure it.

  It’s very brief - but then again, I never expected it to work first time

  It lets me publish embedded images, as well, so I need to configure that bit also.

  I suppose they do have their strengths. I just don’t like the cost they throw onto all their software and yet other companies give you the same stuff for free. I advise you to check out Windows Live Writer if you don’t know it yet. Great application to post blog posts.

  You can insert images and videos and style everything a lot better than in the actual WordPress write window.

  No excuse for a late reply - I was in Melbourne over the weekend

  Live Writer is pretty much identical to the blog post functionality in Word - formatting, images, title, & categories all work as they should. However I am a big fan of the All-In-One SEO Pack plugin (I generally customise my titles/ ULs/ slugs) & of course there’s no way I can achieve this outside the standard WP interface.

  I’m not brave enough yet to do a video
