Overview
Previously in writing posts for Blogger in MS Word, I noted that if the source document is MS Word, then the only approach is to copy/paste via a text-editor.
Unless, of course you use a totally different tool like Windows Live Writer instead of Word.
But recently I had a Flash of the Blindingly Obvious (TM): Google Docs lets you upload MS Word documents, and offers to convert them to Docs format during the upload. Google Docs is web-friendly, and is pretty compatible with Blogger. So it should be possible to upload a Word .doc to Docs, convert and open it in Docs and copy/paste into Blogger.
Does it work?
So far, I've tested this approach with two different documents: a very simple document (one header and two paragraphs) and a slightly longer document with a lot of formatting (I took my own CV, took all the personal details out but kept the formatting).
