Google Docs: The Do's and Don't's

The Official Google Docs Blog recently has posted an article about relevant and irrelevant using forms feature of Google Docs in order to re-arrange questions or otherwise change the spreadsheet underlying the form, so Google Docs says, they are actively working on it to fix these issues. In addition, Google Docs Blog has added a chart to show you the Do's and Don't's to create your own forms using forms feature of Google Docs.
Here are detailed points of the chart:

From the FORM

Do:

1. re-arrange questions using the up/down icons on the left of the question being edited
2. delete questions you want removed from the form. Note: the spreadsheet column will NOT be deleted, so you won't lose any prior responses, but it will no longer be filled with any new data.

From the SPREADSHEET

Do:

1. insert columns for your own data - calculations, notes, etc - which are not in the form.
2. insert rows under your column headers to create calculations of results (such as counts of each answer, etc. New form responses will always be added after the last row with any content.

Don't:

1. DON'T try to re-arrange questions by cutting/pasting portions of columns OR whole columns.
2. DON'T delete columns that are in the form - they will not be deleted from the form and will eventually re-appear in the spreadsheet (next time you edit the form) as the first available column at the end of your current columns.
3. DON'T change column header text, as the next edit of the form will overwrite those back to whatever they are on the form... make all changes to question titles on the form and those will be transferred to the spreadsheet column headers (overwriting what's there).
4. DON'T expect re-ordering of questions in the form to change the order of columns in the spreadsheet.

Trick Linking to Google Presentation Directly

For me it was questionable whether there's a way to get Google presentations linked directly. Every time after publishing your presentation, you simply receive an URL to view your presentation online, but the problem is, if you go to that URL to view the presentation online, Google requires you to log in to your account. The question is how you can view your presentation online without being logged in, so everyone can view your presentation online.
The simple trick is appending "&skipauth=true" to the URL provided by Google and replace "Presentation" with "Present" as with this example:

Here's an URL provided by Google. Just make sure, you're not logged in to your Google account, so will see that clicking on this URL will launch you to that page where you have to log in.
http://docs.google.com/Presentation?docid=dzmtxjg_18hmjg2ddz&hl=en#

This is the same URL but replaced as it has been explained above, so added the key "&skipauth=true" to end of the URL by replacing "Presentation" with "Present".
http://docs.google.com/Present?docid=dzmtxjg_18hmjg2ddz&hl=en#&skipauth=true

There's also a way to download the presentation and it's just replacing "MiscCommands?command=saveasdoc&exportFormat=ppt&" with "Presentation?" like this URL:
http://docs.google.com/MiscCommands?command=saveasdoc&exportFormat=ppt&docid=dzmtxjg_18hmjg2ddz&hl=en#

Google Docs "Adding a Watermark"

In order to style your Google Docs documents using CSS editor, you can now add watermark to your documents. Styling your documents using CSS is fun easy and gives you greater control over the look and feel of your document. You can add background images, change how your lists are indented, repeat backgrounds, get styled headers and quotes by using CSS editor. It's just important to mention that you can't reference external images in Google's CSS, so your image needs to be uploaded first to get then URL address switching HTML source. Just open a new document, rename it as you want, upload your image via your computer or web, copy the relative image URL from HTML Editor and past it into CSS Editor of your document. The URL you need to put into CSS Editor must look like this: File?id=dzmtxjg_11ghmv2vhg_b. After doing this you can also edit the CSS code as the image appears wherever you want it to be.
