I cannot find any such utility in Google's Documents and Spreadsheets. This means that I have to use the return (the enter key) to shift lines which leads to considerable editing anytime I wish to just change the contents of the text. Also, since each line becomes a new paragraph, there is no possibility in applying formats to the text. Does anyone know if this is going to be upgraded soon? I think it is a great idea to have web-based documents, there are some things missing for it to be truly useful.macgrathhttp://ezinearticles.com/?Looking-to-Buy-Resveratrol-Ultra-Pure-Online%3F-Reviewed-on-the-60-Minutes-Show&id=2513600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-18646698206243643842008-11-26T11:09:00.000-08:002008-11-26T11:09:00.000-08:00Google spreadsheet forms builder is a great produc...Google spreadsheet forms builder is a great product long over due. We have a need to produce a PDF per row on the spreadsheet and email a copy to customers/vendors who fillout the form but need a hard copy or a reference copy on a website. Does Google have any plans to create a print function at the end of the form once it is completed?

I...I can see where this is going to be very useful. In our church we often mail out a sign-up sheet for people to provide meals to families where someone is recovering from surgery or grieving a loss. In the past we put the signup sheet in an email, encouraged everyone to add their own name by a date and then hit "reply all" Everyone was encouraged to always reply to only the most recent copy of the email. It never worked that well. People would sign up on earlier generations, then click reply all, before you know it you have three or four completely different lists running around out there.<BR/><BR/>With this feature of Google spreadsheets, just include a link in the email, and everyone's editing the same list. No need for all the replies and duplicate emails.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671989505311713274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-26665783677176863032008-05-17T10:18:00.000-07:002008-05-17T10:18:00.000-07:00I can see both positive and negative here.
