Now you can take your TRF word documents with you - anywhere!

Just get yourself a Google Account, upload your MS Word files, and you can edit them anywhere with a computer and internet access. When you get home, you can save the file in Word format back to your hard drive.

What's more, if you're working on a collaborative effort, you can invite others with Google Accounts to edit the document, or just to see it (but not make changes).

All in all, pretty nifty, imho.

Proof that Google is pretty flipp'n cool.

Sorry, but this browser does not
support web word-processing.

We recommend you try Google Docs & Spreadsheets on:
FireFox: 1.0.5 or higher
Internet Explorer: 6.0 or higher
Mozilla: 1.5 or higher
All of these are FREE and easy to download and use.

If you are working to fix problems with a specific browser and would like to bypass this check, just add &browserok=true to the end of the Google Docs & Spreadsheets url.

Please note that it is a violation of intergalactic law to use this parameter under false pretenses, so don't let us catch you at it.

And, it won't work very well -- really.

I tried the trick, but google docs still would not load in Opera. Shame, I'd use it. Not a replacement for saving on my computer, but as a backup for active RP's, it would work grand.
