Tip

Google Docs File Formats

The Moodle Google Docs plugin makes a copy of the document in a standard office format (rtf, xls, or ppt). When you save the file, any edits to the document after you save it to Moodle will not be displayed.

Have a go hero

Try importing the other Google Docs file formats into your Moodle course and test the download.
