"A teacher was having her students work on an ongoing project where the students would save multiple documents to a folder in Google Drive. To make this process easier, I wrote a Google Apps Script file to automatically create and share the folders with the students."
"Convert Microsoft Word to plain text
Most of the time when I'm writing content for the web (for this blog, or a forum comment, or whatever), I'll write in Microsoft Word for the spell check and other features that aren't in a standard textarea widget, and then I'll cut and paste into the form on the site.
The problem is that this carries all of the high characters ("smart-quotes" and the like) that MS Word makes straight through to the site - and most sites aren't set up to handle them. They expect plain ("Latin") text.
A solution: this script converts text copied from MS word into plain text. Paste your input into the top box, press clean, and the input will be scrubbed and sent to the lower box."
