Are you the type who frequently (or otherwise) have had to make a document out of a recent e-mail you received? Well, the whole task was an easy affair already. As simple as copying the content and pasting it over to an empty doc file and Voila! You’re document is ready. But guess what? Google thinks there has to be an easier (read: faster) way out.
Say hello to the latest Lab feature from Jeremie LE and David K. All you need to do now is click on the “create a document” button on the side of the e-mail text and your new document is just a click away. And yes, it will of course open up as a google doc.
To activate this feature, click on (Gmail) Settings, go to “Labs” and look down for the obvious “Create a document” option. So sad we don’t have something that will open it up with MS Word or any other office suite . That would have been somewhat more useful as I know some of you folks actually copy-paste stuff over from Google Docs to a “native” word processor.
