This is a test post to WordPress using Microsoft Word.
Here’s a picture of me boat surfing in Casco Bay this weekend. I wonder how Word will handle compression
Let’s see how it handles an Embedded slide show from Picasa …

Hmmm, not so hot

Here are a few direct edits
And if you actually want to embed something, here’s what it looks like when you go directly into the WordPress editor:
Conclusion
Publishing from MS Word to WordPress is fast and easy for simple posts – not a bad solution for less technical users who don’t attempt anything too fancy. Anything more advanced than text, images, and simple hyperlinks … learn to use the WordPress editor.
