Excellent tutorial! I am impressed by the fact that, although you speak quickly, you move the mouse slowly enough that I can easily follow your actions and connect them with what you are actually saying!

Hello thanks for the tutorial!
Does google docs have the "reference" feature?

[laci]

Question - my "name circle" has a picture in it (thanks to my kids). How would I know or anyone I am working on a document with know, what color my highlight is?

[tulkasetorome]

Excellent. Concise. Efficient. Question: I find that when I share a file, the recipient has access to my ENTIRE drive! How do I limit access to only the file shared?

[MrDjegsi]

Nice tutorial, l have a question, when l share with someone folders, my folder is not appearing on their computers (explore), they can access only via browser web ?!

[ediedriest]

Will clicking 'save as google docs' close open document? I do not see an x in upper right hand corner to be able to do that. TY

When the teacher send the file, I can't edit it. I can see other working on it except for me. When I try to edit it just highlights the text and nothing else.
