Google Docs: An Online Office

Google is far more than just a Search Engine. Its applications are widely respected and gratefully received. Some of the more common Google apps are Gmail, Google maps, and Blogger which are all uniquely useful in their own right.

One of the lesser known additions to the Google juggernaut is Google Docs, which is a great online office package; it includes a word processor, a spreadsheet program and a presentation application.

It might seem obvious that Google Docs is built around the foundation of Microsoft Office, so if you are proficient with Office, you’ll be more than capable with Docs as each of the applications is similar to the Office equivalent of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. And added advantage to this is that you can actually use documents you have already created in MS Office and edit them in Google Docs.

Probably one of the cleverest innovations with the program is that you get a free gigabyte of online storage space, so you can access your docs on the move. Google Docs is completely free, and if you already have Gmail account, then there is no need to even register. Click here to get started.
