After updating the toolbar, Google Docs replaced the tabbed interface with a traditional menu. The File menu looks cleaner and integrates the revision history, the Edit includes some of the options that are missing from the toolbar (cut/copy/paste) and also the HTML code editor. It’s amazing to see that Find & Replace is still in alpha and doesn’t work as advertised. The Insert menu has the same features as the homonymous tab, Format replaces the Styles dropdown, while Tools lets you select the document’s language, check the spelling and read stats about the document. The Table menu was previously available as a contextual menu for tables and there’s a new Share drop-down that integrates the options to share a page, publish it on the web and preview it.
Google Docs includes all the menus from Microsoft Word 2003, except for View, Window and Help, but there’s enough room to add more menus in the future.
