For example, adding an image and aligning it produces the invalid align="left" and align="right" attributes. Adding images also surrounds it with an anchor tag that has an unsupported attribute. Writer also has an annoying habit of adding embedded styles when adding images as well. Writer is a great tool though. I've used it twice and am very pleased. I do most of my work in the WYSIWYG and go into the HTML code and do the minor tweaking to get it xhtml compatible. I am rather hesitant in using the <a href="http://www.performancing.com" rel="nofollow">Performancing</a> plugin for Firefox due to their poor Wordpress/Image support (what can I say, I love posting images). Until Performancing catches up, I think I'll stick with Writer. Writer doesn’t have good XHTML support.

It works very good with Wordpress and i think it's much better then the wordpress editor. There are still some minor features i'd like to see (like the more button for wordpress) but overall it's very nice! I’ve been using it and i must say that microsoft did a very nice job!
