I took a tour of Google docs, so I decided to create a document using Google docs. I typed a short note, then I inserted a table and uploaded a picture. I continued to type more information after the picture. I did not know how to save the document so I decided to print the document, but before I could print, I had to choose between opening or saving the doc. I opted to open the document and print it. The complete document was not printed - the information at the bottom of the page was lost somewhere. Who knows where! The only way I could find the document was by going to Adobe Reader and it was saved on the C drive. I thought that the document was to be password protected and being on the C drive it is not protected as far as I know. Now I am unable to delete the file from the public computer C drive. It is not that important because there is nothing in the document that is personal or confidential. I would still like to be able to know how to delete it.
After my short experience with Google docs, I have decided to stick with the traditional Microsoft Office which I have on my computer. Maybe with more refinement Google docs will be a good option. As part of my tour of Google docs, I read about known problems for Google doc products so I know that I am not the only one having these problems. It is good to know from personal experience that there are a few problems and because of this I am less likely to recommend the Google doc products at this time.

Yes, I found it clumsy as well and you had do to much playing around to find the templates you wanted and other annoyances.
