Two more steps forward: Google just (many of which cater to business).

Until now, Google Docs offered a font selection that could best be described as anemic. Granted, most business correspondence can manage just fine with Arial and Times New Roman, but if you're designing a flyer, invitation, or anything else that invites creativity, you'll definitely want a wider selection.

When you click the Font pull-down menu, you'll immediately see a few new additions (and not, thankfully, all 450, which would make for a mighty unwieldy menu).

To browse and add new fonts, click the Add fonts option at the bottom of that pull-down. You can filter the selection by one of four main categories: Display, Handwriting, Sans Serif, and Serif. Of course, this being Google, you can also search the font library -- very handy if you're looking for a particular typeface.

To check out the templates, head to , then click See all templates for work. Docs offers a nice variety, everything from cover letters and resumes to invoices and proposals.
