A day later offline started working. This may have been a coincidence, but if you're an Apps user and offline isn't working it's worth a shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-21825434387683886012008-06-23T07:36:00.000-07:002008-06-23T07:36:00.000-07:00Ahab is right on the money.

I've been struggling with it for months.<BR/><BR/>However, encouraging more users to try it out will be a trial by fire for the product, and hopefully will lead to solutions for some of the bugs and poor design choices (starting with the "You are editing offline..." message that takes up valuable screen real estate).Belzecuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947687721478725802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-8495172689766940482008-06-23T07:29:00.000-07:002008-06-23T07:29:00.000-07:00Good one, I have been using it for a week now, it ...Good one, I have been using it for a week now, it does a great job. Another thing I noticed in Google Docs, you can use Ctrl+C and other copy and paste functions, before you had to make a setting in Firefox to do that.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219824318025309088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-71524460738350222462008-06-23T06:57:00.000-07:002008-06-23T06:57:00.000-07:00Hmm, they seem a bit premature promoting Google Do...Hmm, they seem a bit premature promoting Google Docs Offline like that, as it isn't that stable yet.<BR/><BR/>On top of that FirFox 3 users report issues with Google Docs Offline even though FF3 should be supported now (it's out of beta).<BR/><BR/>And Google Apps users report the Offline feature isn't available to them when using Google Docs.<BR/><BR/>My personal recommendation: wait another month before trying to use Google Docs Offline, unless you like to be an involuntary beta tester...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
