Google Docs

I found the ease of use to be great. I uploaded a picture of Alan easily. Sometimes opening the presentation was buggy for me. I would open it and then see thumbnails on the left, but nothing loaded in on the right, and only ghosty writing. Then I would close and open again and it would load right in, showing all the slides.

I also noticed the slide still showed part of the "Click to add content" message under the pic of my son, AFTER I had saved and closed, then opened again. However, when I looked at the slideshow, it was gone. This discrepancy can make it hard to know if you've done what you need to do.

I MISS MISS MISS my Undo function that Microsoft is keen enough to know I need in all my work; that would be a great enhancement, if anyone from Google is watching! (Aren't they watching all of us all the time?)

I could see using Google Docs for large files that email carriers don't like to transport, for sharing picture files with groups, and for posting documents with a quick link for access.

I am not sure about how well the spreadsheet works with Excel. I seem to remember trying to load and go back and forth with some xcl files earlier in the year and having trouble of the "This does not compute" variety. But perhaps in time compatibilities will improve.

I love the option of turning the work into a pdf.
