   Hmm. In my case, at least, if Word is where I want to do my creation, I’d use Word2007′s “post to blog” feature–and that works beautifully with WordPress…and, as far as I know, didn’t exist in earlier versions. (Actually, I “post as draft,” because it’s easier to go into WP and add categories there, even though you *can* add them in Word.

   I guess it’s a matter of working styles (it would never occur to me to write a post, save it as a .docx, then import it into WP–particularly after I saw how much HTML overhead came into WP the first time I tried it with a .doc file). Certainly good to have both capabilities.

   @Walt: you’re right, though this particular bug affects uploading .docx or .pptx files as attachments to a post, much as you might upload a PDF or image. It’s not my thing, but…

   Or you could use the ext2type filter to modify the filter list and add the extensions you want..
