In the last few weeks we’ve improved Google Apps with easier email snafu avoidance, better document and spreadsheet printing, stronger business security features for Android and more. The pace of entire organizations switching to Google Apps also continued to build, and many have shared their stories about moving to the cloud.

Pagination and better printing for documents
Google Docs speeds up collaboration right in the browser between classmates and colleagues, but people often want to see how documents will look on paper before actually printing. Last Tuesday we advanced Google Docs another notch by
adding pagination —the ability to see where page breaks fall. We also made document printing a whole lot better on Chrome. Printing is now a simpler operation right from the browser’s “File” menu, and what you see in your browser is exactly what you’ll get on paper.
Improvements to spreadsheet printing, too
As of last Monday, you can now
print spreadsheets from your mobile phone with Cloud Print, building on the
mobile document and email printing capabilities we announced earlier this year. You can print from most mobile browsers that support HTML5 to any
cloud-connected printer. We also made improvements to spreadsheet printing from desktop browsers, with new options for printing spreadsheet titles, sheet names and page numbers.
Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office interface improvements
If your school or business wants some of Google Docs’ collaboration magic in familiar Microsoft Office software without upgrading Office or deploying SharePoint®, then we think you’ll like Google Cloud Connect. People can work together on the same files at the same time in Word, PowerPoint® and Excel® without the agony of attachments. We recently added 38 new language interfaces and a top feature request: the ability to
minimize the Google Cloud Connect toolbar.
Better Android security and productivity for businesses
We recently treated our business and education customers to
three new Android features: storage encryption for Android 3.0+ devices, a streamlined contacts experience that makes it faster to find and connect with people in your organization and the ability for users to locate and secure lost or stolen Android 2.2+ devices without burdening IT administrators.
Who's gone Google?
Since our last update here, over 60,000 businesses have moved to Google Apps. We’ve profiled quite a few on the Google Enterprise Blog recently, including
Boxx Group, South Carolina REALTORS, Just Salad, 3Tailer, and our favorite switch story of all,
Contoso.
Thousands of schools, nonprofits and other organizations made the move as well. Welcome to
Boise State University, Edina Public Schools, ESSEC Business School, Monash University, Oakwood Junior School, the Georgia Department of Corrections and
The Phoenix of New Orleans .
I hope these product updates and customer stories help you and your organization get even more from Google Apps. For more details and the latest news, check out
