Click Me for Google Docs & SpreadSheets

Google has dropped Writely at last…and has combined Writely features and Google Spreadsheets into one and named it as Google Docs & Spreadsheets. But still I will be missing the brand “Writely” [short and Sweet].

Google Docs is FREE & Supported by most of the browsers. At this time Google Docs & Spreadsheets is only available in English. However, you can type data in other languages in your documents and spreadsheets.

Here’s what you can do with documents:

  • Upload Word documents, OpenOffice, RTF, HTML or text (or create documents from scratch).
  • Use simple WYSIWYG editor to format your documents, spell-check them, etc.
  • Invite others (by e-mail address) to edit or view your documents and spreadsheets .
  • Edit documents online with whomever you choose.
  • View your documents’ revision history and roll back to any version.
  • Publish documents and spreadsheets online to the world, as Web pages or post documents to your blog.
  • Download documents to your desktop as Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF*, HTML or zip.

    • Here’s what you can do with spreadsheets:

  • Import and export of .xls, .csv, and .ods formatted data (and export functionality for .pdf and .html).
  • Enjoy intuitive navigation and editing, like any traditional document or spreadsheet.
  • Use formatting and formula editing in spreadsheets so you can calculate results and make your data look the way you want it.
  • Chat in real time with others who are editing your spreadsheet.

    • Let see how it looks like…
