Writing, it turns out, is mainly about drafting content not formatting or HTML. Nearly every professional writer I know uses MS Word. As a word processor it is vastly superior to WordPress, Wordpad or other featureless alternatives. That said, I know that Word sucks for Web work, but I still expect WordPress and other blogs to create a bridge to it. To just ignore it and say use Wordpad is like telling a painter to use an etch-o-sketch. Allowing this incompatibility to persist is the wrong course of action by both WordPress and Microsoft.
