Need to collaborate and create documents, spreadsheets or presentations?

Once you are logged in, click on DOCUMENTS on the top left navigation bar.

Create and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets and presentations with Google Docs. It is an online forum that collects data from multiple users without having to “check out” documents. Google docs allows multiple users to store their entries live, while collaborating and viewing other members entries simultaneously, as well as the ability to go back and view any revision. It makes collaboration simple.

Here’s what you can do with documents:

  • Upload Word documents, OpenOffice, RTF, HTML or text (or create documents from scratch).
  • Use our simple WYSIWYG editor to format your documents, spell-check them,etc.
  • Edit documents online with whomever you choose.
  • View your documents' and spreadsheets' revision history and roll back to any version.
  • Download documents to your desktop as Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF, HTML or zip.
  • Email your documents out as attachments.

Here's what you can do with spreadsheets:

  • Import and export of .xls, .csv, .txt and .ods formatted data (and export functionality for .pdf and html).
  • Enjoy intuitive navigation and editing, like any traditional document or spreadsheet.
  • Use formatting and formula editing in spreadsheets so you can calculate results and make your data look the way you want it.
  • Chat in real time with others who are editing your spreadsheet.
  • Embed a spreadsheet, or a piece of a spreadsheet, in your website.

Here's what you can do with presentations:

    • Share and edit presentations with other committee members.
  • Import existing presentations in .ppt and .pps file types.
  • Export your presentations using the Save as PDF and Save as PPT features from the File menu.
  • Edit your presentations using our simple WYSIWYG editor.
  • Insert images and videos, and format your slides to fit your preferences.
  • Allow real-time viewing of presentations, online, from separate remote locations.
  • Publish and embed your presentations in a website, allowing access to a wide audience.
