Questions of the week

Question 1:
Why should we be using google documents when we have Microsoft Office already?

Ans: This question has been covered in class before but I'll just like to make my point here again.
Firstly, we may not always have the luxury of working on a computer installed with Microsoft Office. Though I know that it is a program that is integral to most computer users now.
Secondly, your files are all online so you do not have to carry it around in a portable storage device(flash drives, portable hard disk, etc)
Lastly, the ability of collaborating on a single document with many people concurrently. Hasten the pace of work and reduces the different versions that will exist from edits by different people.

Even with all this good points, we do have to note the drawbacks that comes along with it. Some of your might have experienced the internet downtime last week which proved to be very inconvenient. Google Documents requires an internet connection to access so if you are stuck without a net connection, there's no way you can access your work.

Questions 2:
Why can't I apply drop caps to the paragraph?

Ans: The drop caps function is under the 'Format' menu, it basically enlarges the font size of the first character in the paragraph, either to the size that takes a few lines worth or it will take a margin's width.
This for the drop cap to be applied, the first character must not be a spacing, or else there would be nothing for them to enlarge.
