I have a feeling that limitations on file size, font choices, etc will disappear as new versions come out. Meanwhile, it takes some time to get used to the cultural issues associated with sharing and collaborating with people in this fashion, rather than sending documents as attachments ... or not sharing them at all. Ed Dwayne,

Thanks for the note. I have a feeling that limitations on file size, font choices, etc will disappear as new versions come out. Meanwhile, it takes some time to get used to the cultural issues associated with sharing and collaborating with people in this fashion, rather than sending documents as attachments … or not sharing them at all.

I drafted a book in Google docs at lunch in the library at work. Okay for typing text. I had similar issues as you - fonts and font sizes limited, paragraph spacing (a real nag). Then after compiling all the chapters into one file on my iMac, I couldn't put the result back up on Google docs because the file was to big. So, Google docs has worked well for me in some cases. If they would just increase the allowable file size. I too have been working more and more lately in Google docs. I drafted a book in Google docs at lunch in the library at work.
