I'm trying to hook up Umbraco 4.5 and Word so I can post content from Word straight into pages.
I've set up a new user (set to Writer permissions) and the required content channel (appx1) and added the API tags to the <head> (appx2).
When I then try to 'publish' in Word, I go through the following steps:
'New Blog Account' window > select 'Other' from blog list
Select 'MetaWebLog' from the API dropdown
Enter "http://umbraco.local/umbraco/channels.aspx" into 'Blog Post URL' (also tried /umbraco/channels/word.aspx)
Enter the correct login details for the newly created user
After trying to connect I get the rather uphelpful error message of 'Word cannot register your account' (appx3). Has anyone else experienced this problem and have a solution?
I had the same problem when trying to configure word against a local Umbraco install. I managed to get word to register the account if I used the machine name rather than the loopback address in the service URL
I have even missspelled both the URL, and/or username, i always get the 'Word cannot register your account' error.
I tried to put in the IP address instead of server name, no change, only time i got another reaction from word, was when i did choose a non existing IP address, then it tells med the provider is unavailable.

As Doug suggested in another post (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/3974-Trying-to-use-word-2007-on-Umbraco-4#comment14209), I tried visiting '/umbraco/channels/word.aspx' and I get the 'Umbraco Metablog test' page so this would indicate something wrong Word's end?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
ps. I have Warren's 'Creative Web Starter 2.0.3' package installed if this helps.
Appx1

Hi Tom,
I have exactly same problem here. Did you find any solution?
Thanks,

I had the same problem when trying to configure word against a local Umbraco install. I managed to get word to register the account if I used the machine name rather than the loopback address in the service URL
eg:
http://machinename/umbraco/channels/word.aspx
instead of
http://localhost/umbraco/channels/word.aspx
HTH,

I have the same problem as well.
I need to connect to our intranet Umbraco server, have tried both with:
http://intraconnect/umbraco/channels.aspx
and
http://intraconnect/umbraco/channels/word.aspx
I have even missspelled both the URL, and/or username, i always get the 'Word cannot register your account' error.
I tried to put in the IP address instead of server name, no change, only time i got another reaction from word, was when i did choose a non existing IP address, then it tells med the provider is unavailable.
Anyone who has ideas?
I will join the others with this problem, and hope that someone has a solution :)
Is there somebody who got the solution for that problem? Because i've got it.
I get the same error on 4.7.2. Any answers out there?
is working on a reply...
