Have you looked at the network overhead and load times of the above web site?

Thanks for that. Yes I had thought of Open Office but couldn't find an IPAD version. I have just looked again and found a browser version which might do but I have also found 'Officesuite' which works fine. So I think this is the current answer. Create any work in Word (as .docx file). Store it...

I am talking archival backup. Our backup runs every night and two or three times during the day to backup critical data. Critical data (accounts and booking engine) are also copied out to a web folder nightly (as an off site backup). I am sure this would be trivial if we were an Apple only...

Yes your right remote control is an option. I hadn't thought of that. I would probably use VNC rather than Chrome Remote Access (is that available on the IPAD). I have it on a Nexus and it is possible to access remote PCs but it is very clunky and I personally couldn't use it for more than a few...

I am sure it works in a MAC world fine but the I need it to work in a PC Windows world.

The problem with this is that when you open it in Google Docs (on the IPAD if you have no other editor) and do any editing Google Docs seems to convert it back to a Google Docs format so you loose the ability to back it up again. Yes I could get MSOffice for the IPAD then the problem would go...

You are a far braver person than me if you believe that. Sorry but I have been around far too long to believe all the hype about the Cloud. Could do it this way but I think .docx is a a reasonable standard to work with after all in theory it is in 'Open XML Format' (although I am not too sure...

Yes I am using Explorer. If you look inside the .gdoc copied file all there is is pointers: {"url": "https://docs.google.com/open?id=1oq9-earPN3QByjJTEY0btLJGZwZxeQhINnMT4mnTkl8", "doc_id": "1oq9-earPN3QByjJTEY0btLJGZwZxeQhINnMT4mnTkl8", "email": "[email protected]", "resource_id"...

That seems to just copy the pointers to where the gdoc document is not a copy of the actual gdoc document.

Any idea how you back the document up. It seems to be the main stumbling block with most of the cloud solutions.

I have just tried that and the big problem with that is you can't backup the document once it is in Google Docs format (or I can't find a way). If you use word to create .docx document and store it in Google Docs it is fine, you can backup the docx file. Problem is that when you come to edit it...

OK. This isn't really a Web site question but its a techi question that might have to have a web solution. My wife wishes to start writing a book. She would like to be able to write it on both her PC and IPAD (not at the same time obviously). Now in an ideal world I would just map a drive from...

I suppose there are four or five alternatives: 1) A blog anywhere but closed to Google with latest snippets pulled through to main web site 2) A sub area of the main website with latest snippets pulled through to main web site 3) a different domain name (and server/hosting service - I have a...

I was worried about the duplicate content issues rather than hiding content from Google. Basically is it better SEO to have new content on a web page or let Google SEO the blog.
