Blog from OneNote 2007 via Word 2007

[Patrick Schmid]

Chris Pratley just broke some great news on his blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2006/05/12/596010.aspx
"you can now use "File/Send to/Blog" or right-click on a selection or page
in OneNote, choose "Blog This", and whatever you did that to will be sent
over to Word2007 ready for you to categorize, edit, and publish. This
includes embedded pictures.
This is awesome for me and many of you whom I know use OneNote to write your
blog entries because it gives you a way to gather up info, keep drafts, etc.
By going through Word's new blog feature we get a whole lot of stuff for
free such as the specialized blogging UI, the clean HTML, the support for
many providers, etc."

For more details and some screenshot on Word's new blogging feature, see Joe
Friend's blog:

One more piece of news from the blog entries: Chris Pratley revealed that
the public Beta 2 is going to come out in "a couple more weeks".

OK, where do I line up? No cutting in line...

I doubt that the blogging feature will be very useable for a lot of
people in Beta 2 judging by the statements of Chris and Joe of how they
had to edit the files manually. But it will be a cool feature to beta
test.

Once Beta 2 has been released (and I have installed it, which will
probably be sometime in the night of the release day), I'll spend some
time on topics related to it. One of my first posts will definitely be
about whether ditching ON 2003 and using ON 2007 Beta 2 primarily for
real-life work and data is a good or bad idea.
