 * Call me crazy, but I just assumed that Google Docs could be embedded with this
   plugin into WP pages/posts. Am I right in assuming this would work?

 * Not crazy, and a common misconception that I regret. It’s called Google Doc Embedder
   because it uses the Google Docs Viewer, but changes after Google made this service
   publicly available made Google Docs themselves difficult or impossible to embed
   in this way. [Officially in the documentation](http://davismetro.com/gde/notes/),
   I disavow support for this at all because of the complexity of doing so, though
   some get it to work with much fussing.
 * You’re better off using the documents from your own server with this viewer. 
   I’m sorry for the (justifiable) confusion caused.

 * Thanks so much for the reply. You’ve saved me a lot of grief trying to figure
   the answer out through trial and error.
