Google Docs is a web-based word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation program that makes collaboration more efficient. It lets you keep a document online that others in your organization can edit and update simultaneously right from their browsers, so you don't need to keep track of attachments and who has the latest version of a file. Multiple people can make changes at once, and see other people's edits as they happen in real-time. And each revision is automatically saved for you, so you can see who changed what, when, and revert to an older version at any point.
It's easy to get files into and out of Google Docs. To start from an existing file saved on your computer, simply upload the document and pick up where you left off. To work on documents offline or distribute them as attachments, simply save a copy of your Google file to your computer in the format that works best for you. Whether you upload or download, all of your formatting will be preserved.
And like Google's other web-based services, there's no separate software to download or install. You just need an internet-connected computer with a standard browser.
Features
