Google Apps For Dummies

Google Apps For Dummies provides clear, easy-to-understand steps to help readers get up to speed on all the features and functions of the Google set of office applications. Google Apps is web-hosted, and the book explains how Google Apps users can access their applications and documents from any place that has a web connection. As business professionals are becoming increasingly mobile, the benefits of having their office applications and documents only a click away is a convenience that will draw many users to the Google suite. There's also information on how Google Apps can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Office to provide greater flexibility and collaboration in developing business documents.
