A Google Docs How-To
By Bizbox
If you know us, you know we're nuts for cloud computing (and also, and relatedly, for the paperless office). It's vastly cheaper, it enables bigger things to get done by smaller and more disparate groups, and, if you do it right, it's even more secure.
Of course, one of the few obstacles to going the cloud computing route is lack of technical know-how. Not that it's particularly complicated; it's just that some of us are particularly unsavvy. Which is why we loved this piece on everything you always wanted to know about using Google Docs (Google Docs being Google's cloud-based word processor). Some of our favorite tips follow.
You can upload Microsoft Office documents onto Google Docs via a variety of programs: the article recommends List Uploader among others.
Create a script of all your Google Docs documents for download onto a CD with this Grease Monkey program.
Track who visited your shared Google Docs document and when (really!) by going here and clicking "Track visits to my documents using Google Analytics."
Check the whole thing out.
