Google Docs Trial

We have been trialling Google Docs as a method of colaborating as a team on shared documents. I just thought I would record some frustrations that I have with the Spreadsheet version.
- The save option is in a different place to the wordprocessing document version
- There is only a 'save and close' not just 'save' option or a just 'close' option (in the File menu)
- There is the option to sort, but you can only sort the whole list not just sections of it, so if you have a heading row it gets sorted in the mix.
- Editing is slow, so I am resorting to downloading and then pasting my changes back into the document.
- But when you paste back things go weird if you have any quotation marks
But on the plus side it is an excellent way to work collaboratively on a document
and the download to Excel option reproduces the formatting well.
