Google Docs – Powerpoint Online

Ever wondered how to show a powerpoint display or excel spreadsheet on your website without making your hosting costs and page download times skyrocket?

Google Docs is the answer!
You sign in using your Google sign in and upload spreadsheets, presentations, word docs and more. Once they are uploaded you can access them from anywhere in the world, make changes to them, invite others to access and edit them. Once you are ready, you can get code to put a copy of them onto your website.

Automatic Updates
The brilliant thing is that everytime you login to Google Docs and make a change to a file, the version on your website updates automatically.

Add to Spreadsheet Form
In one click, you can create a form on Google Docs containing the same fields as your speadsheet. You can email the form link to any number of people and when they fill it in and send, it automatically adds info to your spreadsheet (in the correct fields.) This feature is perfect for keeping an online contact or events list up to date without having to give anyone access to your website.

Online Collaboration
Google Docs also works well when you want people in different locations to view or edit a single document. You invite the collaborators to access the file via an invitation form and set access as required.

Save Your Document as Acrobat PDF File
The other amazing thing you can do for free when you have a document in Google docs is to go to File, Export, .pdf and save your document as a pdf file which you can then email to people, post on your website or whatever you like.
