Printing Open Office Documents

Hello All.

Yesterday, I helped a patron who wanted to print out an Open-Office document. Since we do not have the Open Office program in public computers, I had to use online word processor such as Google
Document.(http://docs.google.com/)

You have to have a Gmail account for this service. Then, you can upload the open office file to your Google Document account and edit it from there or print it out. Google Doc can handle below file formats;

Microsoft Word (.doc),
Rich Text (.rtf),
Open Document Text (.odt)-Open Office
Star Office (.sxw).
Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt, .pps).
Comma Separated Value (.csv).
Microsoft Excel (.xls)
OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods).
