I don't think even my grandmother is confused between Google drive and Google Docs 😂, Tasia.

paperless, Tasia question for you can we change the paper size in Google Docs like you can do in Google Slides?

[LaSanya]

Another question, but I wonder if I will get an answer. Maybe someone else knows...
Yesterday I sent a worksheet to a friend, the method used was the one that forces reciever to create a copy of the file received. But since then, I have edited in that file. If my friend hasn't created a file yet and only does so now, will the file she creates a copy of be the most updated one? Is the file I sent a 'live' version, so if any changes are made to it inbetween sending and creating a copy she will get the latest with changes?

Just learning Google Docs. Great presentation!

Why did the substitution appear in capitals when you typed it in lower case in the dialogue box? Julia

Great vid! Thanks for sharing! Is there a way to share just a portion of a meeting notes to someone, say their action items & get notified when they complete their action items ?

hey tasia! i love google docs, but find it unbearable on the ipad. i've tried using request desktop site, but it seems either to crash the app or say this browser is no longer supported. Shane, clonmel, tipperary, ireland

Hello, just tried sending a google sheet as you suggested promting the reciever to make a copy but this only works on pc. On moble they are not promted to make a copy and if the edit the sheet from their mobile it shows up right away in my document. So... 😓 But nice feature if it worked all over units...

Hi Tasia. I have a question that I would appreciate if you could help me with. I constantly need to make quick and small adjustments to documents (PDF) that are stored in DRIVE. Like changing them from one technician to another. As far as I've seen Google Doc changes all the formatting of the document before I could make a small edit or addition, so it doesn't work. I also have tried Acrobat as an extension but I think that because it is so robust, it takes forever to search for a document saved on the drive, that is if it finds it. Is there any tool or extension that you recommend that I can use quickly from the computer or mobile that allows me to edit quickly?

I'm trying to use the new @ tool in google docs to pull in the block that I want (drop down menu, horizontal line, link to another file on Google drive, etc). But when I try to insert a link to another file from our Google Drive, for some reason, it only shows me a VERY short list of files that I can insert. Why can I only insert a file from this very short list? I wondered if it was because I was trying to insert a file that I don't own or hadn't been officially shared with me, but even for files that I created, I can't insert them. Plus, I'm only trying to insert files from our organization's shared Google Drive, so even if the file hasn't been officially shared with me, I still have access to it on the shared drive. I can copy and paste a link to the file into the document, but I thought the whole point of the @ tool was to make things easier to insert and create into a Google Doc.

Force a copy is just amazing, thanks for it, Tasia
And BTW, Inclusive Language feature isn't working for me too still, I am free user

[lafamillecarrington]

Re Substitutions - is it possible to automatically insert in title case? eg converting spvh to Swaffham Prior Village Hall. Also, I would love a video that looks at more of the ways of modifying the url that you share with others.

Would be great if you can create a course on Google Workspace which we could deploy to our new joiners as our org is 100% on G Workspace

Hallo Tasia, Wat een mooi en heel erg goed uit gelegde video. Met mijn gratis gmail account werkt het wel allemaal, behalve dat ik nog niet echt snap hoe ik dan de e-mail moet versturen want hij laad de e-mail niet, maar misschien komt dat nog.
Je hebt wel een mooie video gemaakten goed uitgelegd.
