Using Microsoft Word to Blog

This morning, I saw Jon’s blog entry on Blogging Using Word 2007, and my jaw dropped. I do not believe in coincidences. But this is uncanny.

I was jotting down some points on my flight from San Jose to Hartford, CT, yesterday. Since I was not online, and I wanted to blog, I thought I would type it into Word and do a cut and paste later. This got me thinking about a few ideas and I noted down in my Idea-log (a moin-moin desktop wiki). I have reproduced a fragment of my idea-log here. Look at the last entry.

And here is the page on the Word plug-in.

At that time, I was not thinking specifically of Word 2007.  I am so glad Jon is on to this. I look forward to some interesting developments in this space.
