One thing I’ve come across that makes Word ‘better’ than Live Writer is the use of Bookmarks. You can Bookmark places in your post and create links to them. You cannot do this, at least I haven’t found a way, in Live Writer.
I have found that you can use Word to create a post using Bookmarks and links and then use Copy & Paste to paste the post in to Live Writer. Which would then raise the $64,000 why would you. Why not just use Word to write and publish the post.
