After installing the extension, simply right-click any document link on any Web page, then choose Send to Google Docs from the context menu. In a flash, the document appears in Google Docs (and gets saved there).

Send to Docs works with Office and OpenOffice documents, PDFs, and even HTML Web pages. Hallelujah: No more downloading documents to your PC and then uploading them to Google Docs! [via AppScout]
