PCWorld: Google Docs Keeps Improving As A Small Business Tool
Keir Thomas notes that Google Docs has recently added new fonts, the ability to drag and drop files, auto-correct functions, better charting and other features. It’s still free for individual users.
“Google has been quietly adding a raft of new features to its Google Docs online office suite over the last few months, and there are rumors even more significant features are due very soon.
Here we take a look at some of the more interesting upgrades.
Fonts
Google Docs now features the Calibri, Consolas, and Cambria fonts found on Windows Vista and Windows 7, along with the Droid font set created for use on Android mobile phones. There’s also a new cursive-style font called Corsiva. None of these fonts need to be installed on the user’s system to appear in Google Docs; they’re downloaded to the user’s web browser as needed using Google’s Font API (something that can be easily utilized on any website). Even more fonts are to come soon.”
