I love using Google Docs and Spreadsheets with synchronization to my client-side word processor.

The other option for what I do is view the content on either Google Docs/Microsoft Word and then I just post the content to my blogs via BlogJet. BlogJet is pretty amazing, although there are some features missing that they will likely be adding in a short period of time.

This has bugged me as well - so I thought I would have a quick look on Google - word html cleaner-upper. Seems there are some useful tools about - AlGoTech seemed a cheap and cheerful option. As for online storage/back-ups - I prefer Zoho to Google Docs. The writer & sheets functions more like Word & Excel - and there is a handy Microsoft plugin - so you can save your zoho Docs in Word & Excel - great for quick backups. On the downside, it's an extra login - but a worthy one IMO.

I’ve been thinking of testing out the Google Docs application but I’d rather stick to MS on this one. I don’t want to have to rely that much on Google, especially if my internet happens to go down.

If you can afford to upgrade to Office 2007 (MS Word), you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find a handy blog publishing tool. I use it seamlessly with my WordPress blog! I’ve never had this publishing process tamper with my final post. However, the transition of images from Word to WordPress is a bit jumbled. I always publish my blog as a draft, then manually edit my images via WordPress. Hope this helps!

I get around the problem by not checking spellink and grummar.

oh yeah! Windows Live Writer all the way. I’m amazed at how smooth it works.

You can type it in word (make sure you turn off the smart quotes) and get the spelling and grammar the way you want and then copy it into BlogDesk for the formatting/images/future posting.

The recent BoagWorld podcast had a nice review of Ecto. I’ve not tried it but it may fit your needs.

I’ve liked NVU when getting simple clean html from wysiwyg.

It’s free.

I think you have to add an extension for spelling / grammar… but haven’t bothered with ever trying to do that.

What about Windows Live Writer?
I know nothing about it but maybe you’d like to check it out?
