Blog settings for Word 2007
Hi,
I've successfully set up a blog to which I can publish Word documents with Word 2007's "Publish Blog" command, but I'm having trouble figuring out the "Picture Options" dialog. I understand the concept just fine, but I don't know what to enter in the "Source URL" box. Office Help is terrible, and is absolutely no help at all. I do have a server I can put the images on, and have entered the server's FTP address in the "Upload URL" box. Anyone know what Source URL is for? Thanks, Bob |

Blog settings for Word 2007
Never mind; I figured it out. For anyone else struggling with this
issue though, here's the skinny... The "Upload URL" is the FTP address of your host, *including* the directory that's the "host directory" assigned by your web host. For example, one of my web hosts uses the directory "public_html" as the host directory. The Upload URL would thus be something like ftp://ftp.mywebsite.com/public_html The "public_html" isn't part of the URL that someone visiting my site would type in the address bar. The URL for my home page is simply www.mywebsite.com. The "Source URL" is the base URL that Word will prepend to the image name. Any drawings, clip art, images, equations, etc. will be converted by Word during the Publish process, and uploaded to the Upload URL. If you have one Equation Editor equation in the document you're publishing to your blog, Word will give it a name like "012307_0056_Relative1.png", where "Relative" was part of my Post Title. It then appends this image name to the Source URL to arrive at the image source for the img tag in the blog post. If I want all such images to be in a folder titled "images" on my web site, the Source URL would be http://www.mywebsite.com/images Sure would have been nice to have this documented in the Word Help file! I even have the newly-published "Step by Step: Microsoft Office Word 2007" from Microsoft Press. They discuss blogs near the end of the book, but [in]conveniently leave out any discussion of Picture Options. Hope this is helpful to someone.
