Google Docs And Gmail Adds Support For More Document Types

Cloud applications like Gmail and Google Docs are key enablers for being mobile, so improvements even to the desktop web app versions are important for mobile users. If you use Gmail you might know about it’s great ability to view attached Word documents by displaying them in Google Docs, and you can save those attachments in Google Docs. I find that viewing Word documents attached to Gmail messages to be much faster than viewing Word documents attached to Outlook messages, when you take into account that you aren’t loading the full copy of Word.
