You can look online to see the posts yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>What I did come across though were some interesting tools withing programmes I use a little and should use more. As I&#8217;m transitioning away from Microsoft Office and looking at free alternatives there are some features in Google Doc&#8217;s that I&#8217;m\u00a0 impressed with.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I do have an issue with Docs. When I want to use them, I have to go online, find my Google account, then sign in and then get to the docs. A bit more complicated than just clicking an icon on the taskbar.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the interesting features I&#8217;ve been finding out about Doc&#8217;s that I want to try out,\u00a0 I&#8217;ve built myself a logging in macro in AutoHotKeys that I have linked to my Voice Macro for activation,\u00a0 it logs into my account and opens up google docs to the document directory page.<\/p>\n<p>So now I can access Doc&#8217;s quickly I am able to access them more readily to avail myself of its features.<\/p>\n<h2>Google Docs<\/h2>\n<h3>1.
