News!! Uploading Ms Give-And-Take Documents To Blogger - Via Google Docs

This article is nearly transferring textile from Microsoft Word .doc documents to your Blog posts, using Google Docs to cash inward one's chips along the formatting.

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

Unless, of course of report y'all purpose a totally dissimilar tool similar Windows Live Writer instead of Word.

But late I had a Flash of the Blindingly Obvious (TM):   Google Docs lets y'all 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 amongst Blogger.   So it should hold 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 amongst ii dissimilar documents:  a real elementary document (one header together with ii paragraphs) together with a slightly longer document amongst a lot of formatting (I took my ain CV, took all the personal details out only kept the formatting).

You tin sack encounter the results inward these posts:

• Converting a elementary Word file to Blogger, and
• Converting a complex Word document to Blogger using Google Docs.

The results are promising.   In each case, the pasted contents were accepted past times Blogger together with the post service published without whatsoever farther editing.    

There are around issues:

• In the complex document, the tablular layouts are followed strictly, resulting inward around parts of the post service that are wider than the criterion column.
• I haven't tested it amongst a long document (more than four pages):  inward theory at that spot shouldn't hold upward whatsoever problems, only I get got had issues amongst conversion of around larger document previously.
• And I'm certain that it won't operate amongst some of Word's advanced features that aren't (yet) supported past times Docs,eg auto-generated tables.
• I'm non certain how good conversion from Word on a Mac to Google Docs works.  

I'm dandy to remove heed nearly other people's sense amongst this approach - delight larn out a comment below comment below.
