Thing #20 - Google Docs

Initial Experience - Elementary.

I use Word, Excel, Power Point, FileMaker Pro EXTENSIVELY. They are so much more advanced and detailed and I am so much more comfortable with using them. The bells and whistles are in a different location.

HOWEVER...

I can see the advantage of using Google Docs: (1) sharing capability--if nothing else between all MY computers rather than trying to remember which is the latest version of a document--GUILTY. (2) it would be tremendous in collaboration use--rather than emailing a document back and forth with both of you adding, deleting, correcting--GUILTY. (3) great for tracking progress as with the spreadsheet for 23 Things. I haven't had a need for this yet. However, I think I just had a brain storm for a possibility.

OOPS...

I guess I should spend some more time exploring the advantages and locating all the bells and whistles.

  1. I used a spreadsheet and was able to use the formulas and connect to different sheets. It seemed to have everything I use in Excel.
