This was finally posted to my Blog, but what did I need to do this, well let me show you step by step...
Another way to publish a post from Word 2007 Beta 2, instead using the file->Publish-To Blog option. I mean, adding a shortcut to your File Menu...
First of all, you should enter into your Microsoft Office Word 2007 beta 2, and you will notice the menu looks like this.
By default is not enable the Blog publish option, so you should add to the ribbon doing right clic n it at the right side and select Customize Quick Access Toolbar, you should see something like this.
After choosing that option, it will show show a quick window when you can choose what to add to your ribbon.
You should choose TBD and add it to the right column that contain the menu options available for you.
Then you will see the new button added to your file menu options.
What shall we do after that?, yeah, you're right...We can clic on it, and after that we will have a new Word document ready for write a post. But we will need to configure an account to say Word what kind or type of Blog provider you will use to publish your post, so we need to register it. A small window will appears in front of us...
Ok, we're doing well?, lets continue...
We should specify the Blog provider, (in my case I will select Comunity Server).
After selecting the Provider (If you're not sure about the provider you are working with, you can verify this in the link that this window shows you).
Now we need to specify the URL and the username and password...In my case I will write my own username and password, so you should write yours...and the same for yours Blog Post URL.
Remember that there are some Blog providers still not supported for the Office 2007 Beta 2, this ones appear if you clic on the Help me fill out this section link.
So, we'll see a confirmation window.
Ok, so we are allready connected to the Blog provider, and also our text in Word.
At this step as you can see, I decided not to finally publish the post, but to make a Draft, to see first what was going to happend, so, I would need to accept this Drafts directly from my SharePoint Blog, so the post will be public for everyone, but If you choose to publish directly, you won't need to aprove any draft, It will be posted automatically.
Ok, then well need to type our username and password (If we don't want Word remember it).
Ok, well after this steps, the post will be published...
Finally you will see your text published on your Blog, as you can see the begining of this post.
