I have blogged several times about one of my new tech best friends, Google Docs. Ever since I discovered it and forced myself to use it, I find that I prefer it over Microsoft Word. Don’t get me wrong; I still love Word. I’ve been using it forever, and before that WordPerfect (did I just age myself?). However, I find that I am lured to the simplicity and collaborative features of Google Docs, so it stands to be my word processor of choice.
When I migrated my documents over to Google Drive, many of them were in Word format: sub plans, worksheets, recipes, etc. Initially I thought, No problem, they’re both word processors so I can just use Google Docs to open Word docs, right? Well…yes and no. Technically, I can right-click on a document with the .doc extension, select “Open With Google Docs,” and it will open it as instructed. But this new Google Doc doesn’t look quite right.
