writing posts for Blogger inward MS Word
, I noted that if the root document is MS Word, therefore the alone approach is to copy/paste via a text-editor.

Unless, of course of teaching of study you work a totally different tool like Windows Live Writer instead of Word.

But slow I had a Flash of the Blindingly Obvious (TM):   Google Docs lets you upload MS Word documents, together with offers to convert them to Docs format during the upload.   Google Docs is web-friendly, together with is pretty compatible alongside Blogger.   So it should concord upward possible to upload a Word .doc to Docs, convert together with opened upward it inward Docs together with copy/paste into Blogger.


Does it work?


So far, I've tested this approach alongside ii different documents:  a existent unproblematic document (one header together with ii paragraphs) together with a slightly longer document alongside a lot of formatting (I took my receive CV, took all the personal details out merely kept the formatting).

You tin forcefulness out sack run across the results inward these posts:
The results are promising.   In each case, the pasted contents were accepted by times Blogger together with the post service published without whatsoever further editing.    

There are closed to issues:
  • In the complex document, the tablular layouts are followed strictly, resulting inward closed to parts of the post service that are wider than the touchstone column.
  • I haven't tested it alongside a long document (more than 4 pages):  inward theory at that spot shouldn't concord upward whatsoever problems, merely I acquire got had issues alongside conversion of closed to larger document previously.
  • And I'm sure enough that it won't operate alongside some of Word's advanced features that aren't (yet) supported by times Docs,eg auto-generated tables.
  • I'm non sure enough how skillful conversion from Word on a Mac to Google Docs works.  
I'm bully to take nous near other people's feel alongside this approach - please acquire out a comment below comment below.
