How to use Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office

Google Cloud Connect is a free plugin that integrates Google Docs with Microsoft Office thus bringing cloud syncing, sharing, simultaneous collaboration, revision history and more to Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint applications. Google Cloud Connect was launched last November for limited number of users as a beta software. It is now available to everyone.

Once installed and linked to your Google Docs account, Google Cloud Connect will automatically upload any file you open/create and save in Microsoft Office to Google Docs. The uploaded file immediately becomes available on your Google Docs account. This facilitates easy sharing apart from serving as a hassle free cloud backup service.

Using Google Cloud Connect is easy. Download the plugin and install it. Installation requires you to be connected to the Internet as the installer downloads additional files during installation.

After installation, open a Microsoft Office application such as Word. A Google Cloud Connect toolbar will appear. Click on the Login button.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run.
