New Stuff

Blogger now has a Microsoft Word add-on, I like messing with new things so I decided to make this blog to test it out.    

It let me post a new document  but it didn’t pass on the font color I used in MS Word. I’ve retrieved the document I posted into Word and it retrieved a different font size than what I sent originally from Word, probably my template font size. Now I’m going to send a font type different from my template type and see what happens.    

Blogger has a problem with the post retrieval part of the program. It posts what you send, except font color, but when you retrieve the post the font sizes get messed up in some random sort of way. The first paragraph was changed from 11pt to 8pt but in the second paragraph only the words Font Type were changed to 8 pt.

Ok… I see the problem, the add-on allows you to see the html code it generates and instead of using the actual font sizes in points that I used in Word it used percentages of whatever the default font size is. My template default font size is 10pt, the add-on generated a 78% of default in the html code so it changed my font size to 8pt for those parts of the paragraph that I changed the font sizes on.
