Calimus of Technography points out that Microsoft is working on making Word more blogger-friendly.

Too little, too late, but good on 'em, I suppose.

I stopped using Word a couple years ago. My Bad Money blog is littered with "?" from their &*%$ing proprietary quotes, apostrophes, & ellipses.

I curse them all and their illegitimate progeny.

I'm strictly a NoteTab Light kinda guy now. And on the rare occasions when I *do* compose in something else, I copy & paste it into NTL, which cleans all the crap out of it and gives me nice, plain, unformatted text.

Mostly I don't bother with spell-check since most of my typos are homonyms and skipped words, which wouldn't get spotted anyway. On the rare occasions that I don't know how to spell a word, I just Google it with my best guess. If I get the [definition] link on the top-right of the page, I know I spelled it right.

Meanwhile, if I weren't such a cheap bastard, I'd shell out the $10 to upgrade to NoteTab Standard, which includes a spellcheck feature, but I'm not wasting good beer money on something I'll hardly ever use.
