Google Docs issues

Being the only real editing capability, I've been using Google docs alot. I'm having several usability issues: Text selection issues: similar to my Evernote problem, selecting text doesn't work very well at all. Double-tap doesn't work and press and hold only seems to give me a paste option. Similar to evernote, the paste bubble is up near the left corner, away from the text I'm trying to select. Keyboard issues: this is probably endemic among tablets, but i've tried using the google docs edit options cut/copy/paste and it says the browser doesn't have access to my clipboard. The workaround it suggests is to use Ctrl-c/x/v instead which doesn't work without a ctrl key. One solution would be to add a simulated gesture area right below the keyboard. ampersand issue: I tried to use an ampersand, which google docs interpretted as Shift-up because it selected the text from the current character and up to the previous line. Left parenthesis seems to be shift-down. escape key: I went to full screen view and a popup indicated I needed to press the escape key to get my menu back. No escape key = close window and reopen doc.

  • Safari has issues with google docs

    Hi,
    Recently I am experiencing issues loading google docs in safari (from two different Mac, home and work).
    The problem starts when loading the page of a google doc, the banner "trying to connect" appears and then the page freezes.
    Any clue? 
    Thanks,
    F

    Hi John:
    Have you contacted Charter? Sometimes web programmers do not realize there are other browsers around. FWIW, I also have a rare problem with Safari not playing well with a site. I do exactly what you have done and use an alternate browser (Firefox as well).
    I have had success in contacting the tech support people of a particular problem web site. They sometimes recognize the problem and subsequently apply a fix.

  • Excel Documents in Google Docs Doesn't Work on FF 4.0

    I just did my recent updates of Firefox and now I cannot open any of my google doc excel files or even create a new one. I keep getting an error message that says "A browser error has occurred.
    Please hold the Shift key and click the Refresh button to try again." Of course this does nothing and then I have to leave a move to a different browser to open my documents.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I clear cookies and cache all the time and I've done it a few times regarding this problem as well, and I've also already tried disabling hardware acceleration. Now I tried starting Firefox in safe mode, restored defaults, disabled plugins one by one and updated the outdated ones but it didn't help. The problem's still the same.
    It's not a major issue b/c simply minimizing and restoring fixes it but it's kinda odd anyway since there was no problem with earlier versions of Firefox and it occurs on every machine I've tried it with.
    The ebank utilizes Java so clearly I couldn't test disabling Java plugins, but I've reinstalled Java, cleared its temporary files and removed certificates and all that doesn't help. Could it still have something to do with Java?

  • Error editing the file Google Docs in Gnome-documents

    Like to know if anyone managed to edit this file directly from google docs documents gnome 3.8? Here was giving an error saying that the javascript failed and that google has been informed and would be correcting now changed and the message does not say the error. Like to know if it is really a problem with google and gnome or is only here because I did not find anyone else talking about the error, but the gnome 3.8 is still very new and I do not have so many users using outside arch.

    Same here.
    FWIW, I'm on google-chrome-dev, and the current Dev build broke Google Docs.
    [edited May 7, 2013]
    I'm continuing to experience the same issue. When I use Gnome-documents (or, just "Documents," in Gnome 3.8), I can view a Google doc, but I cannot edit one.
    When I try to edit a doc, I get an error message: "JavaScript - https://docs.google.com/docment/... This error has been reported to Goggle and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload this page to continue."

    i tried with safari & opera, and got the same response. finally i had to use my PC notebook to access the documents. it looks like a mac os x issue.

  • Google Docs offline / Adobe Reader

    I'm looking for a way to read PDF files in Galaxy Nexus. I've installed Google Docs and Adobe Reader. Google Docs allows offline caching; but I'm not sure where it saves the file in the device. When I connect it to a computer, the folder tree doesn't show any special folder for documents. Same goes for Adobe Reader. Can anyone help me here? I just want to copy some pdf files from my computer to the GN so that I can read them on the device.
    Secondly, is there any app for taking notes? Spare evernote etc. Something local, no online sync required.
    Thanks.

    Anyone having issues converting Word figures into Adobe Reader 9? Once converted into Adobe Reader the object disappears.  All other pictures/figures appear with no problem.  
    I will assume that you are using the Print function of Word to produce PDFs of Word files. Even then, I fail to understand what do you mean by "converting Word figures" that "disappear" after conversion, while "all other pictures/figures appear with no problem". Are you trying to say that, when convereting to PDFs one (or more) Word documents containing more than one image, one or more of these are not to be found in the PDF file? If so, I would suspect a problem with that/those image(s).

  • Google Docs link Help PLEASE

    would anyone mind please helping me understand why the google doc link URL that i embed in my website keeps going to the main page instead of the document I am trying to link - or alternatively is requiring me to login before I access the document?
    I /simply/ want to be able to let someone click on a link and go to a document that I have posted to Google docs and each time I do this one or the other of the above issues comes up.
    I even tried to SHARE the document from withing the Google Docs interface and when I click on the two links in the email they both come up as inacessible (problem number 3).
    I've shared 2011  publication.pdf
    Click to open:
    2011  publication.pdf
      Google Docs makes it easy to create, store and share online documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
    I've commented out some text there but it seems to me that these never work. For instance on the last link on this page here I never get it to go to the document: http://www.universaljointdesign.com/wwwcms/welcome.php?menu=2
    Can anyone push me along with this one?
    Thanks.

    I got the issue. The responsibility was not attached to the user..
    Thanks..

  • Google Docs notifications will not display...

    When I receive a Google Docs notification auto-email (spreadsheet) , only the first row will disply. Very tall, with the headings at the bottom. No Body!
    Was using v11; tried Beta 12.0b, still NG!
    Works with other browsers (darn it!). :-)
    Anything I can do to fix this?

    FYI for everyone. Found that if your homepage does not come up and you get "Server reset while page was loading" and can't get it to change, then disable all plugins and restart Firefox. Home page should come up.
    Now Firefox comes up fine. Will check other issue on cookies not deleting.

  • Google docs is distorting my word docs. How do I disable google docs

    I want to disable google docs. It distorts my word documents.

    Hello,
    This is Jason with Mindspark Interactive Network Customer Support.
    I have reviewed your system details and it appears as though you do not have the My Web Search toolbar installed.
    I believe your issue stems from your search queries being redirected.
    To resolve this first I would like you to click the down arrow of the search box in the upper right hand corner. Confirm here that My Web Search has not been set as your default search. If it was your default search simply click Google in the drop down menu.
    If this does not resolve your issue it may be because your browsers search settings were not reset when you uninstalled the My Web Search toolbar.
    Please follow the instructions on our FAQ page:

  • Google docs documents often error and require page reload

    When using any google docs document in Firefox on the last several FF versions, I've encountered frequent 'something went wrong' messages that require me to reload the page and that result in some of my recent work being lost or mis-formatted. This happens every 2-3 minutes in many cases.
    I do not encounter these issues in safari or chrome.
    This problem occurs on my office, home, friend's, and tethered connections.

    Strange website problems like that are often fixed by clearing your cookies and cache:
    #Go to History > Clear recent history
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, you might try [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|resetting Firefox]]

  • Using Google Docs Freezes or goes grayscale and makes me restart

    I'm using a 21in iMac 3.6i5 with 8gb ram. I've had the mac for just over a month and it's frozen like 6 times in the past two days.
    It's only frozen using google docs, though it's gone grayscale and made me restart at least twice without google docs being up, I'm not sure what the issue is but I have to use google docs for work so I'd really like to get this figured out as soon as possible, anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Error message in google docs

    I'm suddenly having difficulties with google docs and Firefox. The worst is the error message in the spreadsheets telling me to hold the shift and refresh buttons, which does not work. I cannot work in spreadsheets at all. Gmail needs to be reloaded in order to work. Regular docs display an error message, although I can close the pop up and work on them just fine. The forum has not helped, and when I tried live chat, the volunteer simply signed off in the midst of the conversation.

        KristaD219,
    Being able to connect to WiFi is important and a great way to manager our data usage. Let's find out what is going on. You mentioned the phone worked while in Safe Mode. What Safe Mode does is disable all third party apps. Typically when things work in Safe Mode and not while out of Safe Mode that usually means there is an app interferring with the software. Around the time this started to not work, did you download any new apps? If yes, please delete that app, or try deleting to most recently downloaded apps to see what works. You can slowly add them back on and when it stops working, you'll know what app is causing the issue.

  • Strange behavior: Links in Chrome Bookmark Folder in Google Docs

    When I open the Chrome Bookmarks folder in Google Docs on my Fascinate I see all my bookmarks, BUT when I click on them the phone's browser (I'm using Dolphin)  gives me a "lost connectivity" error message OR closes the Google Docs tab and opens my home tab.
    Can anyone out there duplicate this or make sense of this?

    There are some compatibility issues with the browser and Chrome Bookmarks.

  • Can't see detail on Google Docs

    Hello.  First time I haven't brought a Mac and although I am trying to be positive and realistic about the level of service I will get from the Touchsmart I must say it hasn't been a great experience so far. 
    Within a month of using it, it had to be returned to the HP shop due to bugs. It took a mamouth amount of phonecalls to get the computer fixed. 
    Still now the following issues arise, in order of importance:
    Documents are blurred in Google docs and HP say this is the software companies fault. I haven't ever experinced a hardware company passing the buck in this way neither have I had issues using standard software on a known brands device 
    The Windows home button still randomly moves to applications at its own will e.g. Skype
    Applications such as Spotify are extremely slow to load 
    Generally my productivity on basic matters is at least 50% slower 
    I'd love to return the product but HP won't allow it. Maybe someone could help with the first three points?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

  • Error when using spell checker correction in a Google doc

    When I right click on a word that is listed as spelled wrong in a Google doc (which in fact is not spelled wrong, such as 'tumble'), the choose the suggested correct spelling ('tumble'), the final letter is added so that the corrected word has an extra letter on the end.
    Example: tumble --(becomes).--> tumblee
    This does not happen except in the Firefox 6 alpha.

    Check about that issue in the MozillaZine Builds forum - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 - to see if that has been reported as a Bug. If not, you need to file a Bug report about that problem to make the developers aware of it.
    From what I have read, it looks like Firefox 6 is getting a new version of Hunspell, so your problem is probably related to that.
