Technically Random

So Word 2007 now lets you write and publish blog posts directly from Word. I’m trying this for the first time with this blog post. I like having the big edit window of the Word document and some of the autocorrect features are actually pretty handy, especially for quick and dirty posts. I don’t have any fancy formatting in this post, so we’ll have to test that out later. My only gripe so far is that I normally use CTRL-N to create a new document and by default it creates a new Word document. If I want to start a blog post I either have to move my hand all the way off the keyboard and use the mouse or do an ALT-F (to bring up the file menu) then select ‘N’ for a new file. This is nothing new, of course. This is what I have always had to do to create a new document using a template. A minor irritation, but one I’ve grown accustomed to.

So, here goes, I’m about to press the ‘Publish’ button.

Oh, wait… seriously, it will only let me select one category? Well now that’s really irritating.
