Google Spreadsheets Receives Minor Updates
ZDNet blog, Googling Google, reports that Google Spreadsheets has received a minor update from version 1.1.4b to 1.1.4d. You can now add borders to cells and there's a useful "clear formatting" button. Also new is a contextual menu with Cut/Copy/Paste and Clear Selection, although the menu is obscured by my Firefox contextual menu (Firefox 2.0b1 on OSX). There's also an option to paste values or paste formats, the former of which is really useful for large spreadsheets. As the linked story reports, the app does seem much faster; I have yet to see the red "Loading…" tag. No improvements yet on the function arguments side, though. The application still shows "f(args)" instead of actual function arguments.
Still not replacing Excel, but at least it's moving along. Now if only I could get into the Writely beta to bash that too (jk, Google)…
