WordPerfect or Word
WordPerfect or Word – Lately I flip flopped back and forth as to which word processing program I preferred. My workplace does everything in WordPerfect. Most everyone else seems to use Word.
It’s the little things that count, and now I have gone back to favouring the big MS. For one thing it gets along slightly better with web stuff.
Take this blog for example. It is now possible with a small plugin to write this blog entirely in word. The plugin adds a tool bar with some blog items on it. You don’t even have to sign in to the actual blog.
Open word, type your story like any other document. When finished, you click on Publish on the blog toolbar. After entering your password it goes directly to blogger.com, and uploads you piece without you even seeing much happen. How neat is that? It supplies a link so you can see the uploaded blog if you want to check it. Other than that, just click Finish and everything is done. You can set it up so that you do not need to enter the password every time. You can also open previous posts for editing, save drafts and more.
I mentioned the other day how busy I was with web items. This is a real time saver for me. I will be publishing blogs from Word from now on.
Oh, and one more bonus, Word automatically figures out a title for your blog and puts it in that blue bar up top. Don’t know how it does it, but it works. Often I can’t think of a title, now it is done for me – cool. (
