Free Beta Plug-in Integrates Microsoft Office with Google Apps

Sounds like the best of both worlds: the power and familiarity of Microsoft Office combined with convenience and collaboration features of Google Apps.

Even better it's free. Well the beta is free, whether the final version is free is another thing.

There is lot to like here. By combining the power of Office and Apps you end up with a product that is what Microsoft Office Live might look like in a year or two. But you can have it now.  Just look at some of the features:

• Open your documents online in Google Docs and access them from any computer.
• Access your files from any computer with or without Microsoft Office.
• Manage, create and delete Google docs folders right from within Office applications.
• Add collaborators as you save your file in Google Docs. 
• Move or copy files between Google Docs folders.
• Manage your Google Docs file library just as if it was on your own computer.
• Add collaborators to your documents and manage their permissions.
• Changes made through Office apply instantly to your Google Docs version of each file.
• Find any document based on its content using the powerful integrated Google search feature.
• Switch between multiple accounts (Google Docs and Google Apps) to find your business and personal files in seconds.
• Communicate with your collaborators right from within your shared document.
• Send automated notifications to your friends and co-workers to streamline the collaboration process.
