Using MS Word for editing a already published Blog in SharePoint 2010 Blog site

Question

I've seen that we can use MS Word to create new Blog posts. The option is available under Blog Tools > Launch blog program to post

Works fine, word opens with Blog kind of template, and I can publish But after the blog article is published, how do I edit the blog post using word again?

Answer 1

Here is a blog post explaining how you can edit existing posts with Word editor.

Answer 2

I'd recommend using Windows Live Writer (WLW) rather than Word for editing blog posts. Word is really overkill and not specifically designed for blogs like WLW is.

WLW is a free download from Microsoft: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer

Answer 3

Using Word 2010

1. I went through the actions to create a new blog post to get to the Blog UI
2. Use the "open existing" command
3. Make edits and "publish" as usual
