[nabs-l] Accessibility of Google Docs

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

As was said the IPhone or other I-devices are great for reading google
docs.  My fraternity likes to send out google doc surveys out and I
always use my IPhone for those.
I'd talk to your teammates and see if something could be worked out.
If one of the requirements is that the project be completed as a
google doc, at the least you could use your IPad or IPhone to read it
and email your responses in plain text to someone.  If you edit it so
that all they'd have to do is copy and paste it shouldn't be a big
deal.  If you don't have an IPad or something then perhaps sharing a
different file format through dropbox or email would be a better
option.
