Microsoft has removed the blog template from MS Word

Microsoft has removed the blog template from MS Word, basically this means you need to type your text directly into WordPress going forward since you cannot directly publish the post from MS word into WordPress.

Why has Microsoft done this? I have no idea and frankly I think it sucks big time, a totally tone-deaf Microsoft completely left blogger in the lurch by removing the feature and not evening putting out any alerts about the fact that they would. I assume this was mainly to avoid any copyright issues that may arise out of copilot learning off content that is being published online by content creators.

This is what your blog template will look like going forward, the button won’t work.
