Sharing Google Documents

I've been wondering whether Google Documents in Drive can be shared for editing with folk who don't have a Google account. According to a Lynda.com blog post I just located, there is a way!

1. In your list of files on your Drive, select the check box next to the file you want to share. 
2. Click on the "More" menu and select Share / Share. 
3. In the menu window for sharing settings that opens up, look for the section that says "who has access" and click "change" located next to the option "Private - Only the people listed below can access." 
4. In the menu window that pops open, select the radio button next to "Anyone with the link" and on the bottom select "Can Edit" next to where it says "Access:Anyone (no sign-in required)" and click the save button.

Now, just copy the URL where it says "Link to share (allows editing)" and use it to share your file with your collaborators. And presto! How you like em apples?
