Sharing a Document in Google Docs

Peter Kupfer — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:40:59 +0000

The most powerful feature in the Google Docs program is the ability to share and collaborate on documents. In order to do this you have to share the document with your team and give them the proper rights for that document.

Start by creating a new file, unless you have a file already that you wish to share.

Select the type of file you wish to create. In this case I chose document.

Type information in your document and the select the share button in the upper right hand corner beneath the sign out link.

Select Invite people… to invite others to collaborate.

Enter the e-mail addresses of the people you wish to share with and click Send.

Verify that each person has the permission you want them. You can either set them to be able to edit or be able to view and click Save & Close.

On the main screen you can verify that you shared the document under the Folders/Sharing column.

Fixing my File Sharing with XP and Vista: A Thank You

Peter Kupfer — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:40:48 +0000

Today I was trying to network between mine and my wife’s laptop. This was easy when we both had Windows XP. Now, she has Vista and I still have XP. I thought I had set up the networking properly, but alas, it wasn’t working. I enlisted the help of my good friend Google and found the blog of the Proud Geek. The Proud Geek had a great post about just this issue and after following the instructions, I was good to go.

What was tripping me up was what user to use on the sharing screen. I ended up setting the user to Everyone. This seems dangerous, but I have a WEP on my network so neighbors can’t get on and modify our files, so it was all good.

Thanks Proud Geek.

Another High Ranking for Me/My Blog is from Canada

Peter Kupfer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:19:40 +0000

I was surfing through my referrers in the data I collect for how people get my blog and I often see that google.ca is a referrer. So, I decided to follow the referring link back, and I found that was again the top search result for Google for a certain topic.

Here’s the pic:

Now, I am not sure why I am listing as being from Canada, but I am guessing my web host, Velcom.com, is based up north. Either way, I’ll take.

In honor of the event, here is a clip from the South Park Movie, Blame Canada:
