Don't forget passing around Excel documents. I'm not a lawyer, but I've read accounts of this from enough to think it's a whole thing and not an isolated phenomenon.

I agree. I have over 50 US patents, and the multitude of patent lawyers I have worked with all use docs with change tracking enabled.

EDIT: parents -> patents

>I have over 50 US parents

I feel for you, my kids have two US parents and they find them to be quite the pain in the ass. :-)

Not to mention that having any kind of client-related document on an online service like Google that's indexing the content (at the least) is probably a violation of attorney-client privilege.
