Interesting. I just searched for "banned from google docs" and some people seem to either be questioning whether it happened to them or if it is possible.

I never considered that possibility.

I guess my other question is word processing programs usually have a target format of paper ... is that how you're still using it?

As far as I'm aware it's not banning you from Docs itself, but getting an account nuked for any external reasons (For a random example, Copyright problems on Google Drive or YouTube)

I don't use Word much. When I do, I use standard US Letter size. I rarely print to paper, though.

I use PowerPoint and Excel more frequently nowadays. Excel happens to be truly exceptional.
