GOOGLE DOCS AND ALL ITS WONDERS

I have already uninstalled most microsoft office programs from my computer because of google docs,here is why you should too !

THE BIGGEST PERKS:
By far the best thing about google docs is the fact that your documents will remail securely online. This elliminates the threat of a computer virus damaging your precious documents, it saves a lot of disk space and best of all, it allows you to access your documents from anywhere in the world.

Collaboration- With google docs you can share and collaborate any document with anyone who has access to the internet.
example: Professionals can create or upload a document and click "share" to allow co workers to view and edit the document from their own computer.

Many supported file types- You can upload and create many different types of files both from the web and from your computer- (you can even view documents sent as attachments to to gmail account without ever having to download a thing including;
Document Files: .TXT, .DOC, .RTF, .HTML, .HTM .ODT, and .SXW
Presentation Files: .PPT, .PPS
Spreadsheets: .CSV, .XLS, and .ODS
PDF files
Now, You can even create simple, easy to use web forms for your website or blog, the data collected from these forms will automatically be entered into a spreadsheet in yuour google docs account.

Great Organization Capabilities- Use files, Labels and Stars. You can also easily export your documents at any time.

CHECK IT OUT

At Last! Google contact sync for blackberry
(if it worked!)HERE IS HOW TO UNDO THE DAMAGE !

Google Contact Sync, How to Fix it using outlook Yes they have now done it- contact sync for my blackberry.
I was delighted to here the news and immediately updated my phone with the newest version of google sync.
The problem however, is that the google sync literally destroyed my blackberry address book.
I had none of the contacts that I previously did, Email addresses that were not associated with names and about 200 phone numbers with unknown names.
Though I do rant and rave about how magnificent Gmail is, I am quite disappointed in the contact management system. This problem does not only exist when syncing your Blackberry with your gmail contacts, but also when importing/export to and from outlook.
The duplication detection system by gmail is neither effective nor efficient.
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS DISMAY YOU FROM USING GMAIL - as it is by far the best email online !

****Before you try out google contact sync, I suggest backing up your phones contacts Google Contact Sync and Blackberry Address Book. Bad Combination, Heres how to undo by syncing with outlook and exporting all of your contacts to q backup CSV file ( i do this weekly, you should too !)*****

If you already tried google contact sync for your blackberry, You CAN undo the unfortunate destruction of your precious address book ! (o: here's how-
( this is assuming that you regularly sync your address book with your outlook or other email software)

1) plug your phone into your computer, go to the blackberry desktop manager.
2) choose synchronizechange options for synchronizing email messages and organizer data
3) select the configuration tab
4) select configure sync; choose the application with your most recently backed up address book.
5) select address book and then click "setup"
6) set the device to sync one way from outlook to device
7) ensure that there is a check mark in the field labeled " replace all existing data in target device"
8) your good to go , now sync your device and your life will be back to normal !!

good luck and let me know if you have any questions !
