Toggle your MS-IE browser window fullscreen by pressing the
F11 function key, 
or when that doesn't help choose a higher resolution for
your display (are you
using 800 * 600 ? That would give some display problems... )

Posting Homework - 2 new
------------------------
I have 125 students and would like to post different
homework assignments. I 
would like all students to have access to all assignments.
Do I have to put in
each students separate e-mail address and does each
assignment have to have a 
separate URL.? I would rather have any viewer access my site
and have access 
to all files that I - Sun, Oct 15 2006 4:57 am

Let me introduce myself -- I'll be your Google Docs &
Spreadsheets Guide 1 - 1

Hi Syd. I loved Writely and hope the transfer of
applications to Google Docs 
will be complete soon. In particular - there seems to have
been loss of 
functionality - I was able to upload pdfs to Writely, but
this function has 
been lost on Google Docs. Is there a reason for this? Thank
you for your 
prompt reply - Sun, Oct 15 2006 5:43 am

Hi Marge. I've been using spreadsheets for a while now and
am impressed for 
what it seeks to do. Is there a plan to make the columns as
well as the rows 
lockable? Regards Ashley - Sun, Oct 15 2006 5:46 am

Printing Envelopes and Address Book - 1 new
-------------------------------------------
Maybe I am slow, but I couldn't find anything on how to
print out an envelope 
for mailing the documents. Nor could I find an address book
for storing of 
mail (snail) addresses. Could someone point me in the right
direction? Thanks -

Storage space increase help ---- - 1 new
----------------------------------------
Hello Google, I have an commercial application that would
potentially work 
well with Google docs. There are upper storage limits on the
size of documents
500k or so, which is understandable for an free account. My
question is, can I
pay for and obtain more storage say 2-3GB per document with
capaqcity to store
100-200 documents for 60-90 days? - Sun, Oct 15 2006 3:17 pm

Is there an easy way to use the same formula multiple times?
- 7 new

--------
I'm working on a new spreadsheet and am wondering how I
might be able to make 
something a lot easier: I want to use the same formula
(SUM=A1;F1) in column G
- but I want to use it through out the entire column (G)
withOUT having to re-
enter the formula each time. I am having to enter SUM=A2;F2
each time for each

How to remove document from my files - 1 new
--------------------------------------------
Another poster provided a link to his published spreadsheet.
I clicked on the 
link and viewed his test document. Now this document became
a permanent part 
of my document collection. When I try to delete it it tells
me that I cannot 
delete it because it is not mine. I don't want to delete
from the cyberspace, 
I just don't want it to - Sun, Oct 15 2006 3:36 pm

OK, So i visit Google Docs and Spreadsheets with Safari
2.0.4... I am greeted 
with the message: ---------- Sorry, but you need to upgrade
to Safari 2.0.4 or
later. ---------- Errr... yeah? Google, I like what you do,
but this is plain 
retarded. Hopefully someone gets fired for this. Later. Oh,

PowerPoint html - 1 new
-----------------------
Although PowerPoint has a native feature to support a html
presentation, it 
does have some drawbacks. Maybe you could consider
converting a PowerPoint to 
flash for flash is compatible with any web browser. You can
even insert the 
flash directly in a existing web page. Tool -> PPT2Flash

How do I change the name of a Google document? - 1 new
------------------------------------------------------
The document title does in fact default to the 1st line of
the document. 
Another way to change the document title is to click on the
title display (
black, bold text) in the upper left hand corner. A dialog
will pop up where 
you can type in a new title. We'll make sure to add
"how to rename document" 
as a help topic. - Mon, Oct 16 2006 4:15 am

Multiple files uploads & downloads - 1 new
------------------------------------------
Isn't there any future plan for multiple files uploads and
downloads? Size of 
the files are still limited to 500k. Does google have a plan
for selling this 
as an enhanced version? In that way, users can work with
documents offline,
upload the files easily, and share them with collegues,
truly. Thank you - Mon,
