With google Docs you can simply upload or save documents to your desktop, edit anytime from anywhere and able to share your documents in real time. And it’s free at least at now. As the ever-present as Acrobat Reader is, it's clunky, and I often wish there is a dedicated PDF viewer, as part of Google Docs. Well, now! You simply upload files to your Google Documents to take advantage of this new

"You can't edit them yet, but Google Docs users can now upload PDF documents and view, copy text from, print, and share them.

People also can transfer PDFs stored on the Web.

Looks like adding new features is a way of life at Google. Just seen a flashing message on one of help pages now again they have released some new features.

Even if the Google Docs presentation feature isn't quite an old function on the web, users adopted the function pretty well and this only encouraged the Mountain View company focus more on its development. A few days ago, Google rolled out what seems to be the first important update for presentations as it released two new features which would obviously provide better functionality to Google Docs users: speaker notes and YouTube support. The speaker notes are mostly useful if you're one of those people who use the Google service to create presentations and share them to the entire audience. Using the new function, you're able to write down special notes or information that wouldn't be revealed to the ones viewing the presentation. "Seasoned presenters keep their slides simple and

The Google versus Microsoft controversies never die. Be it be the acquisition of Yahoo that is making headlines now or be it the Open Xml format getting ISO nod . We all know Open Xml is a Microsoft brainchild and was openly opposed by Google along with other majors. Now the Google Docs that were introduced to us as the online Alternatives to Microsoft's Word have gone Offline straightaway competing with MS Office. By the time you would be reading this most of us who use Google Docs would have seen it but lets see it and its functioning for those who haven't.For those who have seen the Offline mode they would have noticed the following changes in the Interface - a small green arrow on the top mid of the screen as is visible in the picture.

Che ci siano ancora diversi formati per i file mi sembra semplicemente pazzesco oggi come oggi, mi spiego, il fatto che per i documenti di testo, presentazioni, fogli di calcolo, etc non esista solamente un formato lo ritengo davvero molto deludente.

Google Docs Offline Access Rollout Starting Today [Google Gears] Google Docs is getting offline access baked in with Google Gears starting with a small number of users today, the Official Google Docs blog reports.

Our team has a real affinity for free-spirited types, and so we spend a lot of time thinking up ways to make Google Docs friendlier even to people on the go. If you're one of those, you already know how you can access your Google Docs from anywhere, how nice it is to avoid having to email yourself files or back up docs with a thumbdrive, and how easily you can collaborate with others. Of course there was a teeny thing missing: you needed an Internet connection to make Google Docs work for you. Now, for documents, that's no longer true. As you'll read on the Google Docs blog, starting today and over the coming weeks we're rolling out offline editing access to word processing documents to Google Docs users. You no longer need an Internet connection when inspiration strikes. Whether

As more and more desktop applications are moving to the web, Microsoft is planning a low-end hosted and productivity suite to compete with similar services like Google Documents, Zoho, etc. Although it is unclear how low-end it is, Albany will combine Office, Office Live Workspaces, Windows Live OneCare, and the Windows Live suite of services. With the strong presence of Microsoft in desktop arena, it will be interesting to see how much this online complement can hurt other competitors.Source: InfoWorld

Google today updated the menu structure of the word processor in Google Docs. Gone are the menus that change the toolbars underneath. Gone are the useful but unusual "revision" and "tag" items. What we have now is familiar to anyone who's used Microsoft Word 2003. In fact, the five menu items have the same names as items on the menu bar of Word 2003.  View Full Article: Webware

Google has rolled out two new features for Google Docs, the company's online word processing application. The first is a new improved menu toolbar. Well, improved might be a subject term. To be perfectly honest, it doesn't appear to add a whole lot of new features. But it looks far more like the menu toolbar you'd expect to find in a desktop application, complete with File, Edit, Insert, Format, Tools, and Table options. Google has also added the ability to select colors for your labels/folders. This is a feature that Google added to Gmail a few months ago. And we have to say, it's one of those features you didn't necessarily know you needed until you have it and then it's hard to imagine life without it. If you use Google Docs regularly, these two features, particularly the col

No, Clippy, I do not want any suggestions on what to do next. I just type in an article and there’s nothing you can do to stop me! Once again, no, I do not want to find out about the help you can provide. Should I need it, I can get it on my own. Or are you acting up all of a sudden because you have seen the Google Docs Cliply that’s had me riled up over it lately? That’s actually not a joke, nor is it a hoax meant for April Fools, Google is indeed getting ready to roll out its own annoying moving-and-talking paper clip. Lucky for them that the company’s name starts with a G, so there can be some more branding involved with the new release. The first signs of this have been discovered by Tony Ruscoe and Philipp Lenssen in the source of a Google Docs document. Th

According to a post today on The Official Google Blog, the engineers in Mountain View truly want to please end users. Jonathan Rochelle and Nir Bar-Lev, for example, both product managers for Big G, have explained their fascination with how people of all sorts have used Google Docs software package - more specifically, Google Spreadsheets - to calculate finances, manage sports groups and teams, log beer taste tests, etc. The list goes on and on. And though the clan of in-house Google Docs developers would love to cater to all demands for super customization, they figured that the needs of the many vary so greatly that both company and consumer would simply be better off if the latter were just given the keys and allowed to have at the software’s insides. Good plan? Absolutely. The

Uso o Google Docs há algum tempo, não como editor principal, mas para visualização de anexos do Gmail. Hoje descobri no LifeHacker que é possível utilizá-lo também como editor para publicação em blogues. Testando o recurso percebi uma grande vantagem no editor do Google Docs, em relação Blogger: A publicação de imagens. No Google Docs, você pode determinar o tamanho exato da imagem e pode publicá-la sem um link para ela mesma em tamanho original. Na minha opinião a publicação de imagens no editor do Blogger é lastimável e as opções do Google Docs nesse sentido são bem animadoras.Mas não é só, apenas e somente isso!

So while wandering around the Print OnDemand Expo in Boston I bumped into a small Google booth. So in conversation I was told that Google will be releasing a desktop version of Google Documents and Spreadsheets. Furthermore, they said you can expect to see a new link showing up on your Gmail page...I was told it will be something similar to Microsoft's Sharepoint. Where was this information 6 months ago when my company chose Basecamp over Google Apps. Although, i do love my Basecamp.In other news from OnDemand 08, some cool stuff is going on in the world of variable data publishing. Lots of cool web-to-print apps as well as InDesign plugins.

Corritore de la Creighton University (una universidad gestionada por los jesuitas en Nebraska) y el artículo se publica en eLearn Magazine sobre su experiencia con un curso en modalidad e-Learning sin utilizar ningún LMS (CMS aplicados al elearning).

Uno de las herramientas más usadas en una computadora es el procesador de textos. Pero cuando trabajamos en equipo, como por ejemplo en una empresa de turismo, es importante que los documentos importantes para el trabajo circulen entre los empleados que deben verlo. Una forma muy interesante de compartir documentos es usar Google Docs, el procesador de textos en Internet que es propiedad de Google. Una de las características más importantes de este servicio es que no es necesario instalar ningún programa. Simplemente hay que tener una cuenta en Google -como por ejemplo la que se usa para Gmail- y dirigirse a docs.google.com. En la página de inicio veremos un listado de documentos creados; si no tenemos ninguno, basta con ir a “Nuevo”, y se abrirá una nueva ventana. Allí veremos una página que tiene un aspecto que recuerda al de cualquier procesador de textos, con una barra de estilos para hacer negritas, itálicas, insertar enlaces, entre otros. Pero por encima de

Hace algunas semanas un amigo me mandó una liga a un documento y una herramienta de Google a la que en eso momento no le presté mucha atención, me concentré en el documento, y dicha herramienta nos permitía a todos los que revisaríamos ese documento, hacerlo en línea y realizar las modificaciones necesarias.Esa Herramienta se llama Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/?hl=es pli=1) y aquí tienes un tour (http://www.google.com/google-d-s/intl/es/tour1.html) del mismo google para que la conozcas. Pero te presento un video que permite entender esta herramienta de Google de manera muy simple. Espero lo disfrutes.No te pierdas el video (internet-y-sus-recursos/google-docs-qu-es-eso.html).

Google Docs ya dispone de un interfaz movil desde el que acceder y administrar nuestros documentos desde dispositivos moviles. Se pueden ver documentos, aunque no puedes editarlos, ya que es una opcion que no esta disponible todavia. Por ejemplo, si con un Nokia E65 intentas editar un documento, te echa de navegador. Asi que tendremos que esperar para poder editar. Las hojas de calculo se ven un poco mal, debido a que las pantallas de los telefonos no son lo suficientes grandes, y las presentaciones PowerPoint no las podemos abrir. Como veis aun tiene algunas limitaciones, y actualmente solo podremos visualizar documentos y hojas de calculo. Supongo que lo antes posible ya podremos editar y eso hara que se pueda usar este servicio correctamente. Podras descargartelo desde esta pagina.

Google released a mobile version of their Google Docs service. This means that from your BlackBerry you can now access and view any stored documents, spreadsheets and presentations you have on your Google Docs account.

C’est en bêta, je n’ai pas encore eu l’occasion de tester mais cela me semble tellement prometteur que je l’annonce déjà. DocSyncer vous propose de synchroniser vos documents Microsoft Office avec la suite bureautique en ligne Google Documents. Idéal pour travailler facilement quand on est nomade. Vous trouverez deux captures d’écrans (1-2) sur la homepage du site. Je peux d’ores et déjà vous dire que l’installation d’un logiciel sera nécessaire (Windows 2000/XP/Vista, version Mac OS X disponible ensuite). J’ai également trouvé la page d’enregistrement, mais le formulaire ne fonctionne pas… tout comme le programme d’installation (DocSyncerSetup.exe) … Enfin, c’est à surveiller de près sur http://www.docsyncer.com/ !

Last June, I gave 10 reasons Why I loved Google. Then I showed how Gmail can view Microsoft Powerpoint slides. Now, Google Docs have added a web based Microsoft Powerpoint equivalent. The new name of Google Docs replaces the old name of Google Docs & Spreadsheets. In short, users can: Create and keep presentations in one place on the web that’s accessible anytime, from any Internet connected computer. Manage, update and share presentations with colleagues by sending them a simple email invitation. Edit together online and in real-time, or contribute at different times to the same presentation on the web. Present and control slide shows for all viewers over the web, with no special setup required. Chat with viewers in real-time via integrated chat. Import existing presentations to get started quickly. Quickly publish presentations to the general public or individuals of their choice. And it’s all free, of course. Copyright 2007 by Speedendurance.com. All Rights Reser
