Every Gmail User is so familiar with Google Document Viewer opening an attached document that they hardly ever think about it. Few people even realize that they are viewing a document such as Word or Excel, even though they may do not have MS Office or for that matter PDF viewer.
The thing is that it will open most commonly available formats and does so admirably without fuss is terribly useful. I find it particularly useful when I am using my iPad which obviously will not have most of the applications which may have been used to create and email attachment in the first place.
The viewer also happens to support not just the viewing of the document but also the printing of it. Granted that the printing features are somewhat limited but it will get the job done more often than naught.
Remember all those times when you needed to grab an email attachment but did not have you own device on hand. Well worry not because you can easily signin to your Gmail account from just about any device that has an web browser running, open the document and read or print it as required
What a refreshing win for simplicity and applications that just do a few things and do them so well
