I am not a fan of tutorials as they either move too quickly or bore me. This guy has the perfect blend of showing and explaining so I get it and I was never bored. Bravo and thank you! I will check out your other features!

[alihalalincometv]

This video was extremely helpful. I was referred here by ALX as I am currently taking their Virtual Assistant Course. All concepts were highly simplified and easy to understand. I can't thank you enough.

Watching in 2024 and you can now combine portrait and landscape on your google docs. Thank you for this detailed tutorial.

[rajiadejoke]

I absolutely can't wait for a signature tab on both MS Word and Google Docs document. This is a feature i have been waiting for, for the longest time! Many Thanks to the Tutor😀

[ghadghudi]

Because of this video I will definitely start with Google documents, what a beautiful discovery for me. Loved your instructions. I will always look forward to see your videos.

[MiltonNGreeneIII]

Great video! I am a Christian pastor and very new to Google Docs. I plan to use it for writing sermons, Christian education workbooks and ebooks. I just subscribed to your channel and will be watching this video again, with notebook and pin in hand. Again, great video! Keep up the good work.

[eyereekuta]

I learnt so much, I have being using Google docs but I never knew some cool features existed, thank you

[thesehandsart]

This was fantastic. Thank you for communicating so much useful information in such a concise way while also demonstrating the real world application. It sounds obvious that this is what should and would be done to teach, but it often is not. Thank you, I will be saving this as my reference!

[tifeola]

Coming from ALX VA class, this is really GREAT!!!!

[emojki]

My favorite feature in docs is voice typing and explore button with citation. Docs are great! I would like that we can use different page setup for slides, not just have to use the one we choose for the whole deck.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I now have to be learning how to use Google Classroom to teach my Grade Two students. Grade Two students are ages 7 and 8. I have to practise to get my teaching ideas organized so I can adequately apply myself.

This is most - BEST VIDEO - we have seen for a while on explaining everything in great detail -
we do not just say this - and we hardly ever give a good - the best - review - YOU ARE THE BEST - WILLIAM AND WILMA

WOW!! Sethi! Top job in showing off the features and possibilities of Google Docs. Your video was very well put together with your post processing making things easier to understand. I, like you, use Docs every day, but I learned a few new things while watching, so thank you. Won't it be great when we can choose between portrait and landscape in a single document. This has been a bug-bear of mine for years now... Terrific Sethi!

[sameervalia]

I just loved the way you presented this. Very sorted, to the point. No problem with the duration of the video. I simply enjoyed the learning !! Citation tool was amazing to discover.

[sir_iaron]

Exactly what I was looking for. This helped me gain the much needed confidence to start using google docs. Thank you very much.

[lawrencechew]

Due to covid 19, I now learnt to conduct online Swim Classes with notes, infographics, short videos and reflections. Tks for this interesting tutorials.

[shonfromdachi]

This was very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make a detailed tutorial about it! 💯👍🏾

[teresadiaz]

Thank you for these tutorials! I have a busy day of working directly with individuals and have not had time to really get into these google functions that we are using daily in the schools. I am definitely sharing with co-workers like myself who need some help.

[bonniehoke-scedrov]

This is my first time enjoying your YouTube channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!

[chrysugoajoku]

Thank you, @FCT
I was referred to your video by ALX team as I am currently taking their VA Course. This is quite a resource. My knowledge has been broadened. Thank you again
