Open Live Writer

Comments on the replacement for Windows Live Writer.

First up, it is an ongoing project and their web site is here http://openlivewriter.org/

Improvements and updates are being worked on and, no doubt, it will get better over time.

I am using the latest build (0.6.2 as at 5/7/17) but one thing I did notice is you can’t drag the borders on tables to change the width of the columns.

Even if you specify a size, the program still inserts table columns of equal width to fit page. To get the desired column widths in the previous post, I had to open it with Windows Live Writer.

Apart from that I can’t see much else that is missing. You can “drag” images to change size:-

AND can “watermark” images and change tooltip text,

IMG_4021

AND crop, rotate and tilt..      ( Highlight the image / Format Tab. )   

The spell check automatically picked up that I was using Australian English and, generally,  it works just like the Microsoft version.
