Google Docs Discussion Button

I just noticed today that Google Docs has placed a 'Discussion' buttton in new documents you create.

The 'Discussions' button is a recent cool innovation

This allows us to have document-specific discussions, which is very great for article writing with a colleague or an editor, finalizing minutes of a meeting, updating progress reports and the like.

How to Create a Useful Expense List

"Where did my money go?" Doesn't the question sound familiar? Someone received a big sum from a long lost uncle. After a time, he desperately asked, "Gosh, where did that money go?"

Bookkeeping isn't just for accountants. It is for everyone who handles money. That means you and me, as well as every home or project outside of home.

How to Create an Amortization Calculator

Amortization -- strange word? If so, then perhaps you haven't gone to bank yet to secure a loan, whether for a car or for a house. Amortization is what you pay the bank monthly for a fixed period.

Google has cut all the crap by introducing Forms in Google Docs. You would not believe it's that easy. In fact, you may have filled up such form a few days ago on a site you visited, without realizing it.

How to Create and Share Documents in Google Docs

I've been using Gmail for so long now. But familiarity with widely used office software has led me for several months to miss out on a great office option that has been staring at me for so long. It's Google Docs, of course.

When I said that the free online office was literally staring at me the whole time, I literally meant it.

Tired of having to pay for the most updated offline office version? Try Google Docs and see how much money and headaches you can save yourself from. I am not kidding. Google is not paying me for this (I wish they would).
