Praise from Mr. Macintosh

  • Article

A nice complement from Guy Kawasaki on the blog feature in Word 2007. I was a pretty hardcore Mac user from 1986 - 1994 and always thought that Guy did an amazing job evangelizing the Mac platform.

"And speaking of Microsoft, I tried using Word in Office 2007 running under Parallels. It’s pretty good as a blogging tool that combines editing and posting. Definitely something to try if you’re stuck in the other world."

    Joe,

    You guys are so close with making Word great for blogging. People like me need to be able to select text and add tags like <ol>, <ul>, <li>, and to have paragraphs within ordered and unordered lists that are not numbered or bulleted.

    Thanks,

    Guy

    Joe, blogging from Word 2007 b2 is a great feature. Tried it just now for the first time to my WordPress blog (on my server, not WordPress.com). Worked a treat.

    If you can fix the known issues - incorrect date/time and no categories - then this will be a credible tool, giving other blog editors a serious run for their money.

    The date/time issue is the most serious. A showstopper, in fact.

    It's almost there! What news on a fix?

    Is MAC the Education-friendly computer system?  Are more schools and universities resorting to MAC computers?
