Google creates a workspace suite, sometimes collectively known as “Google Docs”, to take Microsoft Office by bringing productivity to the cloud. There was a time when the market seemed to be on the verge of office office wars and while things have settled, no clear winners have emerged. Google Documents and Friends have come a long way but the new features announced are turning on the internet caught fire but not in ways that flatter for Google’s workspace.
The idea behind Google Documents, sheets, and slides is for this to be a stand-in for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The main difference, however, is that the Google suite will be powered and stored in the Cloud, freeing users to access their files from any device that has a web browser and internet access. To be able to be a replacement, the web application must be equivalent to the features offered by their Microsoft colleagues.
In practice, it’s not a problem. While Google Docs functions properly as an ad hoc word processor for basic needs, some more sophisticated features that make the word solution that entered have not made it. Case In Point is a new feature that Google seeds on Google Documents. Users will eventually be able to place the image in front or behind the text, allowing the images to function as a background for textual content.
Netizens What found funny is that this feature has long been a maintenance of word processing, especially Microsoft Word, for decades. By chance, this also means that Google Docs will get compatibility with Microsoft Word documents that take advantage of that feature.
This update is open to all Google Documents users, both workspace custoers and those who have a Google Google account. Google says it might need more than 15 days for features to be seen for everyone, but when it happens, it will be found in the text wrapping section of the Google Documents image option.
