Way back I considered using Microsoft Word as my content editor for my blog, and wrote a PHP script that converted .docx files to static HTML. To publish all I had to do was upload a new .docx file to a given directory on my shared host and wait for the script to run.
It converted the Word "Heading 1" etc styles to some CSS class, and had support for extracting inline images etc. I relied on convention for certain things like post title, and it didn't support too fancy things in the Word document.
At that time .docx was rather new, so I wasn't sure if it would stick around. Also I wasn't sure this was the best idea ever, so I ended up with something else. But it was a fun adventure.
Well the key point was to use Word for basic content editing and layout, but have control over the styling on the website part of things (ie via my own style sheet). As I recall the generated HTML from Word was quite a mess, and it would be non-trivial to change the styling of it.
It also allowed the pages to be easily integrated into my blog, with first paragraph being visible on the main page etc.
Mostly though it was just a "can it be done" experiment :)
