  I found this possible solution online: http://word.herbtyson.com/?p=218

  Side note: not having used either option, I can’t vouch personally. But I will say that I’ve seen a lot of recommendations that people use Windows LiveWriter instead. Word has proven to be a less-than-ideal vehicle for blog posting, and I hear really positive reviews for LiveWriter.

  In that link the answer given is:

  At the bottom of the left column, under Dashboard, click on Settings. This will expand the list of settings sections.
  Click Writing.
  Under Remote Publishing, enable XML-RPC. If you think you’ll ever use Atom, then enable it, too, just for the heck of it.

  That is a WordPress.ORG based solution – XML-RPC is enabled all the time at WordPress.COM.

  I did some testing last year with Word & Blogging – for me the formatting sucked when I got things on my test site.

  I use Windows Live Writer. Not perfect and I do need to do some fine tuning, but much better than the tests I ran with Word.
