Using SharePoint from a Mac: Which editor tool do you have for contributing to blogs?

Question

Hi all,

Wanted to know if we had any solution for contributing to SharePoint blogs for Mac Users other than the built-in editor?

Something similiar as the Word function we have on PC.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,

Aurélia

Hi AureliaCh,

Offline SharePoint tool promised for Mac users.It will not be a Mac equivalent of Groove, the Office collaboration desktop client that will become SharePoint Workspace in the upcoming Office 2010, the SharePoint team told ZDNet UK. The promised tool also will not offer Groove's existing peer-to-peer features on the Mac.

You can refer to the following links.

Hi AureliaCH,

As far as I know, the latest is the following link and the following description is from it.

Users can upload, download, edit, and coauthor Office for Mac 2011 documents that are located on a SharePoint site. With Office for Mac 2011, teams, especially those in a mixed environment of Windows-based and Mac computers, can stay connected and productive, and work collaboratively on documents.

Thanks,

Yes but these articles mainly speak about doc libraries, list, and other similar things. They don't speak about Blog, or did i miss something?
