Word 2007 works well for posting to a WordPress blog. Here is a step-by-step description.

1. Use any existing document or create a new one. Once you’re done, hit the Office Button -> Publish -> Blog
2. You’ll be asked to set up a blog account. Select WordPress as the blog provider and enter the URL to xmlrpc.php, your user name and your password.
   
3. Then, hit the Picture Options button and enter your FTP URL and the URL used in the Blog Posts.
   For WordPress, you’ll need to use “My own server” – “My blog provider” won’t do.
   The FTP URL is where your images will be stored. Source URL is what Word will prepend to the src= attribute of the img tag.
   
4. You can now publish, publish as a draft, edit categories, and edit existing posts. Wow.
