  WORD 2010 can “register” my Word Press address;however, I was instructed to contact WordPress to set up. I tried to do it myself and it didn’t work.

  Are you saying that you want to register a new WordPress.com blog, or are you trying to link your blog to Word 2010?

  I am attempting to “link” my blog to WORD 2010. WORD 2010 has a feature that lets me “register” within WORD 2010 my new wordpress blog address/account. In other words, I am working in WORD 2010 when composing my blogs and it will publish my wordpress blog within WORD 2010. WORD 2010 is asking for the WordPress URL, my login name and password. I have attempted to input every scenario re these three questions and keep receiving the prompt “Unable to Register”. (Note: WORD 2010 has a drop-down box of “approved” blog sites and lists Word Press as one of them. Hope this clarifies things.

  We don’t actually recommend posting from Word, as its proprietary formatting can cause plenty of problems with the post itself.

  Would you be able to try Windows Live Writer instead?
