Fresh on the verge of the announcement of its purchase of YouTube, Google has launched Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Google Docs and Spreadsheets gives the user the ability to create documents and spreadsheets online, and have access to the files wherever they go.
Some nice features I found while using the tool was the ability to upload my existing word documents, and edit them online. I was then able to convert these files to various file types including Adobe PDF.
Another nice feature is the ability to e-mail documents to Google Docs & Spreadsheets! If you were an exisiting Writely user, you can easily convert your Writely account to Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
Other features include:
- Attach documents to emails and send to Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
- Complete online editor with spell check.
- Upload documents via web site.
- Document revision tracking system.
- Share documents with others via e-mail invitations.
- Post documents right to your blog.
Supports:
- HTML files and plain text (.txt).
- Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text (.rtf), OpenDocument Text (.odt) and StarOffice (.sxw).
- Comma Separated Value (.csv).
- Microsoft Excel (.xls) files and OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods).
