Within the last week all Microsoft office attachments (word, excel and Powerpoint) open in Google docs. I do not know why this is happening but it is very frustrating. Word is one of the most popular and commonly used products from Microsoft Corporation. The latest version of Microsoft Word integrates well with Microsoft Office 365 and serves as a full-fledged document processing software. With the program, you can type, publish, and edit documents in real-time.Microsoft Word comes with improved features but retains the original layout for ease of use. Google Cloud Connect – This is a free plugin for Microsoft Office that will let you save your Office documents to your Google Docs account with a click. Compose a new document inside Word, Excel or PowerPoint and hit the Sync button to upload it to your Google account.
If you're sharing a Google file with people who only have Office, you can attach a Microsoft copy to an email. In Docs, Sheets, or Slides, open the file. Click File Email as attachment.
You can upload new documents directly to Google Docs and convert the files into Google Docs files.
Upload a Document
In addition to creating new documents directly, you can upload existing documents that you can open in Google Docs.
- Select File upload.
Now select a document to upload. Google Docs will be able to convert most types of documents, including Microsoft Word documents, PDF files, and Rich Text documents.
The file is uploaded and appears in Google Drive.
Convert a Document
Once a file is uploaded, you can preview the original file and convert it to a Google Docs format.
- Double-click an uploaded document.
- Click Open with Google Docs.
- Click File on the menu bar.
- Select Save as Google Docs.
While previewing a document, you can choose to comment on it, print it, download it, and more.
Though you’re viewing the document in Docs, you can see by the .DOCX file extension that it’s still in the Word format.
You can see that the original Word document and the converted Docs file are both saved to Google Drive.
Thanks for your extra suggestions about the possibility of 'thin space' and 'hair space' which, until I read your reply, I was completely unaware.I can see how 'hair space' could be very useful for many writers who like to allow a little extra space before a question or exclamation mark. Such marks can get lost under modern word-processing/typesetting but the use of a full space can be too much and also increases the possibility of the mark dropping down to the next line as an orphan.
Is there any way of automating the insertion of a 'hair space' so that instead of typing in 200A followed by ALT+X, the writer simply presses a ? but will get it displayed preceded with an 'hair space' ?
ps I use Word 2003 - but I'm not aware that either 2007 or 2010 versions make allowance for this.
