  When I post a blog from MS Word 2007 into WordPress, any images in the post are brought into the media gallery as png files but are not referenced in the post itself, so after posting I need to manually add each through the media gallery. Is there any way to get posts imported from MS Word to have the proper img tags pointing to where the imported files are placed?

  Please do NOT post from Word. If you want to post in this manner, use Windows Live Writer. Word will cause you many, many problems in the long run. WLW will also import your photos.
