Improvements to documents, spreadsheets and drawings in Google DocsWe rolled out a rapid-fire string of useful features for Google Docs over the last couple weeks, including
alternate page sizes and
resizable tables in documents,
spell checking in spreadsheets, and a new
curve rendering tool in drawings. All these features make creating and collaborating with others in real-time on documents, spreadsheets and drawings easier.
New site navigation choices in Google SitesGoogle Sites got in on the action this week too, with the ability to add
horizontal navigation buttons, tabs or links to your sites. We also added the option to include a site-wide footer on your pages, and made it easier for people to open embedded documents in a new tab where users with access can make edits.
App Tuesday: Nine new additions to the Apps MarketplaceFor organizations, a key advantage of Google Apps is immediate access to productivity-enhancing innovations from third-party software companies. This month,
nine new applications were added to the
Apps Marketplace. Instead of struggling with patches and updates each month, Google Apps customers can activate new functionality with just a couple clicks.
Who’s gone Google?We have a long list of new customers to share who have recently switched to Google Apps. A warm welcome goes out to
Roberto Cavalli,
HÔM Real Estate Group,
Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss,
Bergelectric, the cities of
Westerville and
Wooster in Ohio, as well as the
State of Maryland, which will be making Google Apps available to all 1.4 million of its K-12 and higher education students.
If your business or school is ready to “go Google”, we’re happy to report that making the switch is even easier with new data migration options. In addition to our existing tools to migrate email, contacts and calendar data from Microsoft Exchange, hosted Exchange and Lotus Notes, last week we simplified the process to
migrate from IMAP systems and PST data files.
I hope these updates help you or your organization get even more from Google Apps. For details and the latest news in this area, check out the
Google Apps Blog.
