How to publish a blog?

How can I publish Word files to a WordPress blog without losing the footnotes?

• I would like to take the contents from Microsoft Word files and convert them into WordPress blog posts without losing the footnotes. I've tried many different methods but have not found a simple working solution to this basic issue. The ideal solution would automatically upload a Word file (or many files) to a WordPress blog and convert the footnotes to HTML anchors.

• Answer:

  Wordpress Core does not support converting DOC files into posts. You might want to look at the range of importers that are available: http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content. However the concept to import text into one blog post looks like a refreshing new concept to wordpress, core does not support anything at all of that. Basically if you can convert something into a HTML fragment, you can just copy/paste that HTML over into the HTML editor of the post. HTML has nothing like footnotes, so the conversion will lack of that feature and can only simulate footnotes then.
