January 18 - more with GoogleDocs

I love GoogleDocs.

I checked out the 100 tips and found the ones relating to Presentations to be the most helpful. Points 64 - syncing with Office, 66 - using Googledocs from my Mobile, and 74 - staging the revelation of bullet points in a presentation - were the ones which I found most useful.

One of the chief criticisms I've had of using GoogleDocs is that sometimes it just won't do what Office products can do ..... obviously changes since its inception mean that now it quite often can and the capability for fuller integration with Office products is great.

At a time when I moved from Tamworth to Grafton I found GoogleDocs to be a complete life saver in so far as it enabled me to continue to be involved in state-wide activities despite my increased remoteness from activity points - planning for a conference, seminar, meeting, etc; writing collaborative presentations/documents; preparing my own presentations which could then be shared for comment/editing before finalisation; minutes for meetings.

I love GoogleDocs.

Google docs are amazing - and it is helpful having this list of hints to check out. You might also like to add the Google docs blog (a late add in to this week's information) to your rss feeds. I really like Google docs too.
