How to Use Google Docs - Beginner's Guide

There is also an app available for iOS and Android for Google Docs.

Another way to access google docs is from google drive. When you create a Google account, you automatically get google drive. All google docs, google sheets, google forms, and google slides are stored inside of that Google Drive.

If you are new to Google Drive and Google web products, check out the video on How to Use Google Drive for beginners:

You can start with a blank document or you can choose from a Google Docs template.

After creating a new Google Docs file, you should name the file. By default, it is called an untitled document.

After naming it, you should move it to the folder inside of your Google drive by using the folder icon.

You can use Google Docs to collaborate with other people, on the same document at the same time.
When starting on a document, you can have it in editing mode.

Next, you can style your document using different fonts, font sizes, and font colors.

In this video, we will cover the following:

Spelling and grammar check
word count
Inserting images
Inserting header or footer
Inserting links
Explore option
Sharing a file/collaboration
Downloading a file
Printing

All of your video tutorials are very helpful. I used to have limited familiarity with Google workspace now I am knowledgeable on how to utilize everything. Looking forward to more of your substantial content. Thank you and more power to your channel.

You did an awesome job of providing a walkthrough of Google Docs. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[susanwesel]

Thank you. My organization uses google docs for everything and I have no clue how to use it and your tutorial has helped me immensely. I shared my first document just now.

[whomadethatsaltysoup]

Again, excellent tutorial on a very useful utility. Up until recently, I've been using MS Word and LibreOffice. However, all the faffing around with conversions of file formats, uploading and retrieving on multiple platforms - iOS, Windows and Android - it seemed about time to make the switch to a cloud based, multi-platform, document creation and storage solution.

this is a very good tutorial for google docs, I needed to write document in google docs, but I didn't know this program, but after this video, I understood how this program works and now I can easily write documents in it. this is a very clear tutorial, I understood all at the first time, so I advise it to everyone who doesn't know about google docs.

[danielleconstance]

THANK YOU! How do I save a document to my computer so that if I have no internet access I can edit, or print, send to others who don't use Google? I'm a stage manager and many younger folks use it but most of the older ones (like me) are not as savvy

[BF-brfg]
