The Google Docs Viewer just got a whole lot more useful. Now, it lets you view more than just PDFs, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents, displaying 12 new file types, launching from the Gmail application or Google Docs or embedded in any website.
According to the official Google Docs Blog, here are the dozen new file types you can view in the Google Docs Viewer, including two different kinds of Microsoft Excel files, and .PPTX file compatibility for PowerPoint 2007 and 2010.
- Microsoft Excel (.XLS and .XLSX)
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 / 2010 (.PPTX -- before, only .ppt and .pps were supported)
- Apple Pages (.PAGES)
- Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
- Adobe Photoshop (.PSD)
- Autodesk AutoCad (.DXF)
- Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG)
- PostScript (.EPS, .PS)
- TrueType (.TTF)
- XML Paper Specification (.XPS)
Keep in mind that you can't create documents in these formats using Google Docs -- you'll still need the original applications to do that.
