Definitive College Student’s Guide to Google Docs
Google is definitely keeping up with the times by offering college students, business owners and everyone else access to Internet applications that could very well replace the software that you are currently using at school, in your home or at your office. Google Docs, although still in beta, is an amazing application that comes with a spreadsheet, a word processor and even presentation software.
As with many new applications, there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out with Google Docs. The applications lack cross-integration making it impossible to link your presentation and your spreadsheet, nor your word processing documents and your presentations. The application may lacking a few features, but it is still a tool that any college student will find useful.
