• How do I export a WordPress post to a .doc file? (I want to upload the doc file to Google Drive.)

    This should have been simple to answer, but the only plugins I could find focus on *importing* doc files into WordPress.

    It’s possible to copy/paste directly from Google Docs to the WordPress editor, so I assume it should be possible to copy/paste directly from the WordPress editor to Google Docs.

    True. But after the 50th or 60th copy-and-paste, the process could become rather difficult.

    I’m not sure what you mean by “50th or 60th copy-and-paste,” you should be able to select-all in the WordPress editor.

    There used to be a plugin called “aspose-doc-exporter” for this, but it has been blocked for some time for security reasons.

    An alternative could also be a PDF export plugin. PDF files can be converted into Word files. Example: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/nopeamedia/

    It would probably help if I explained. I recieve posts in WordPress. Those posts need to edited. The edited posts then need to be sent to Google Drive, where they can be shared. I’ve found somewhat of an answer with the Google Drive desktop app – I can set a folder that is automatically shared with Google Drive. I can then copy-and-paste from the WordPress post to the folder and it gets to Google Drive.

    The second option I’ve come across is Zapier which can automate a number of tasks, including sending a post to Google Drive once it is published.

    How about a collaboration plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/commenting-feature/ instead?

    Collaboration is also slated for the next major WordPress update too, no ETA on that currently.
