Around The Web
Google Docs Templates
If you are bored with MS Word or if Open Office Writer gets you technically tired, you always have Google Docs for backup. Lately, they have vamped up their almost simple interface by supporting PDF and other file formats. Not only can you do word processing online with this free service, but you can also install it for offline access with the help of Google Gears. Additionally, Google Docs has launched their free templates for resumes, presentations and memos. What's not to like?
