Google Docs Get New Menus And Toolbar

Google Docs has introduced new menus and toolbar to make the interface more user friendly.  The changes to Google Docs menus and toolbar have been done on the basis of a study called “Card-Sort” conducted by  the Docs User Research team.

In the study, users were asked to recognize what each label and icon meant to them and how would they group them together.  To me, the results seems to be influenced by regular Microsoft Word usage habits as the menus look very similar to that of MS Word.  Nevertheless, the interface has become more user friendly by putting the things where the users look for them.
