  Hello,

  Every time we try to publish from Microsoft Word (07) we get a message error: “Word cannot register your account”. We tried deleteing and resetting the access in the Blog Management tool to no avail, always the same error message…

  It’s very disrupting for our publishers and we have no idea where that could come from.

  Thanks for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Can you clarify how you’re publishing from Microsoft Word directly to appablog.wordpress.com? Are you copying and pasting the content or using Windows Live Writer, which is explained here?

  Hi, we use the built-in Pubish function.

  Hi,

  Thanks for clarifying! Can you confirm that you do have the XML-RPC endpoint set correctly? This is discussed here:

  Also, could you upload a screenshot of the error message to your Media Library so I can take a look?

  Actually, I think we have found the problem.
  Apparently our blog is now on http”s”.
  We have updated the URL and its looks fine now.
