Auto-Linking
Google actually decided to pay some attention to links and realized that typing in text with http://www. every time isn’t really efficient. Instead, now you can just write groovyPost.com and Google Docs will still recognize it as a valid link and it will be accessible with just a click. If you don’t want to make the text you just typed in to be a link, a simple Ctrl + Z will do the job. I can confirm that this feature works very well from my personal experience and it will definitely be a vast improvement to Docs.
New Preferences
You’re going to like the new Auto-Linking, but you may not want to include it everywhere. Google Docs now has its own Preferences from where you can disable Auto-Linking and also get rid of Smart Quotes which is nice. The Preferences are a small step forward to making Docs better than it already is.
New Page Layouts
Google have also taken their time to get us some new Page Layouts. If you’ve been looking for that Executive paper size all along, well – you’re in luck. Google finally added it to their Page Layouts, and it can now be accessed.
