Google, Docs, my Word!

Okay, so this Google docs things is slick as butter on a bald monkey!  I mean, I can hardly believe it.  I don’t have to pay a  bazillion dollars for some set of high powered office programs, most of which I will never use, just to create a document?  I don’t have to struggle to remember to attach that document to an e-mail to share it?  (yes, I have a whole folder of e-mails that I forgot to attach the document in question to, and an equally full file of apologies for same)  This is fabulous.

The toolbar is familiar, I had no problem inserting pictures, colors, etc.  The lack of fonts is perplexing, but I am sure that it is just that I didn’t spend a whole lot of time exploring.   I would love to insert a link here so you can see my lovely and inspirational document–graphically superior in every way-but I don’t know how.  If anyone wants to help me with this, hesitate not!

For me the biggest plus is that I can proofread my kid’s papers and projects with them, even when they are not at home!  I can create fliers and articles for the various groups I help out and not have to worry if everyone doesn’t have the same software.  Everyone can open and read the stuff!  YAY!  Why aren’t these Google people bringing us peace in our time, ending world hunger, and helping the Blue Jackets win the Stanley Cup?!!  Who cares, they gave us Google Docs!

(Imagine at this point the sound of thousands of frogs falling onto a concrete floor.  This has been proven to most closely approximate the sound of 950 people clapping their hands)
