Here a product to check for those who uses OpenOffice.org Suite as an alternative to the common MS Office Suite. This is an Addon tool for OpenOffice.org which allows exporting documents to Google Docs and vice versa. All you need to do is to have OpenOffice.org 2+ or StarOffice 8. And, of couse you need a Google Docs account to try it out. The tool was created by Przemysław Rumik.

It can upload:
- Documents: OpenDocument Text (.odt), StarOffice (.sxw), Microsoft Word (.doc, but not MS XML), Rich Text (.rtf)
- Spreadsheets: OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods), Microsoft Excel (.xls), Comma Separated Value (.csv)
- Presentations: Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt, .pps)
- It may import all text documents as OpenDocument Text (.odt)
You will also need Java 6 SE. Since the Addon tool is based on Java.
