Web Office

It’s web office week at read/write web. Web office is a good complement to software Office and better for collaboration.

ICDL from Stockholm College is back!

Perhaps you have some summer pictures that you want to show to family and friends? There are a lot of nice services that helps you to publish them on the web, and it’s easy as 1, 2, 3.

I use flickr but if you want to try something else here is a good list about evey (?) service on the net.

Mail your documents – get it back as a PDF

There are many ways to create a PDF but KoolWIRE is very convenient because you don’t need a installed program.

Just attach as many documents of the following formats Word (.doc), Powerpoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), Jpeg, GIF, Rich Text Format (.rtf), TXT and you have nicely converted PDF:s.

More web office applications

More and more web services help you create office documents directly on the Web. Earlier I wrote that Google Docs expands with Power Point.

The blog “Digital Inspiration” writes about a service called trailfire.com that helps you create a live slide show of web pages.

Google docs expands with Power Point

Google are developing a new presentation software on the net. It’s still rumours but I’m glad that their expanding from Google Docs and Spreadsheet and adding Power Point.

Of course, the web versions aren’t as versatile as Microsoft Office in a long way. But there are other advantages, as for example accessibility and collaboration.

Google Docs & Spreadsheet

There are more and more web services for office software. My personal favourite is Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

You are able to create, edit, share, store and publish documents without using your computers software. This is quite simple but I recommend you to have at least basic skills in some Word and Excel software.
