This tutorial was extremely helpful. I spent hours taking notes and practicing. Your teaching style is fantastic. I am currently looking for work as an Admin so this will be very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the great video! Your teaching style is conducive to learning you only talk about the subject at hand it is even more helpful when you mention other features relating to the current issue. I am now a new happy subscriber!
Excellent tutorial, for a grandma, no less. All but the Table of Contents section because content of the example was quite confusing. I made a report step by step as you were explaining. Now I've got theory and practice.
That was great. Your relaxed soothing style of presenting without introducing distractions aids my learning. The production and editing was good too. I have subscribed. I use Docs quite a lot and now I shall be more skillful in using it's features. Incidentally, you can change the filename taken automatically first line of the document just by clicking on the filename next to the blue docs icon while the document is open. I use docs to compose emails with pictures embedded within the text, my yahoo mail won't let me do that so I select all, copy and paste into yahoo text body. Job done. I shall look into other formatting in docs to apply to yahoo mail too. I am pretty much stuck in yahoo mail as at the dawn of time I could you a distinctive personal address there and all my contacts remember it well, also storage there seems to be unlimited. I'm going to look at your other Chrome apps tutorials as I have pretty much moved away from Windows to ChromeOS these days using Asus Chromeboxes bought cheap on Ebay in nearly every room in the house.
Good one! I want to be able to give just one link to colleagues so they can go to just that one page and then glance down lists etc. and then click them and go right to the thing they want to see. So this video and these features are helpful. Thanks.
It actually pretty funny, too me at least. I can tell when a teacher makes kids watch one of my videos because I get a bunch of immature comments within a few minutes of each other. Sometimes talking back and forth to eachother through the comennts.
i don't remember when it got implemented, but the outline system has helped but it hardly makes sense at all. this does give me some answers about it though
Hi, just wanted to thank you for doing this video. I have recently switched to google services from iWork and it has not been as smooth as I tough. This video really helped me out!
Good video. Been working with word processors since Word and never knew that little indent trick on the bag at the top. It seems I am always learning something new.
Wonderful instructing! Extremely accommodating for me, much thanks! Great video. Been using the word but never realized that little indent stunt on the pack at the top. It appears I am continually discovering some new information.❤
For an essay i want to make a point, put a dash next to it and explain the point after the dash. However as i keep typing onto the next line it goes underneath the point i mad when i want it to go underneath where i started making the point. Please can someone help me.
Just one thing. I have never understood how to create columns once I have started a document. So I was excited to learn how. But I still couldn't make it work. After some trial and error I learned something that you didn't specifically teach. Let's say I wrote two paragraphs and I want the second one to be in columns. I can't just type the second paragraph and without hitting enter, highlight it and create columns. I have to hit enter - getting past the second paragraph - and then highlight it. Then it will work. (hope this makes sense.)
Really helpful tutorial! Thank you so much!! I would love to know how can I keep my writing to the same page? It has been so hard and so frustrating to working in my project. When I am typing the text just jump to the next page leaving a lots of space in the previous page. How can I fix that please? Thanks
Please... Could you slow down per section. Never used Google docs and I'm a writer trying to submit a piece to a site. I need 1" margins all around Page number and my name on upper right corner..each page. Separate page for short bio.. I'm freaking out.. can't keep up with you.
this is very helpful. i learned a lot from it. however, why my links are not automatically opening when i click it even if im in viewing mode. when i create a link and click on it, it gives me the link which is clickable. Do you know how to fix it?
@@ProlificOaktree thank you so much for the response. but how do i fix it? I want the hyperlink to launch automatically just like what you did on your video?
@@perciatienza8123 I don't know why yours wouldn't be working. I only know how I got it to work! If you figure it out, let us know with another comment how you did it so we can help others out with the same problem.
Help plz! I can't find how to highlight a few words in google dosc? i know in microsoft word Ctrl is usedfor this, but how do you select 2 -3 words from different parts of a paragraph?
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm wondering though, how do you add a page break to Heading 1 for example? So that every time I use Heading 1, it automatically page breaks before the heading 1. In Microsoft Word, there is an option for this but in Google Docs I can't seem to find it.
Hi, is there a way to duplicate a Google Doc and change the name and some content, for the document. I am used to using Word and using "save as". When my daughter is sick, I send a note to the school with the only changes that are made is to each note is: . the date I sent the note . each day and date she was off school sick for that period of time when I save each note, I "save as" with the heading - absent 1, absent 2, absent 3.........then place each of these notes in a folder name for that year - 2011, 2012, 2013 This way I can keep track of the days my daughter is off sick and keep track when the school contact us of a missing absent note I suppose this would be the same when you are doing a letter for work/business and have to send the same letter , but just change a few details (and possible to keep each copy) With Google Docs, it doesnt have the "save as" option, as it saves your work as you go - but what happens when you need the "save as" option, same letter but to change small sections of it Thanks Sean
My table of contents is weird can someone help. It has two points where the link is connected to the wrong content, when ever I try to make it match where it should be, it just picks the wrong one. Example: I have a point that is called REFERENCES and one called centralnervesystem (CNS), and my REFERENCES keep connecting to the CNS point in the table of content. I want it to connect to REFENCES of course, but it won't let me.
Thank you for this video! I get teased by my younger colleagues for being a "boomer" which I think they equate with being tech un-savy. I'm getting the hang of it now. Do you have a video on manipulating photographs within docs?
Yes, go ahead and make the columns and then change their width using the horizontal ruler at the top of the document. If it's not there, go to View and make sure Show ruler is checked.
@@ProlificOaktree I think I figured it out. I am creating a form that has lines to fill in. I was having a hard time getting a uniform right justified end to the line across the document. It was easy in word as you could format a tab with an underline. I don't know how to duplicate that in google docs. I did find a work around though.
If it’s not requiring you to log in, then that means that you are already logged into a Google account and it’s using that. Docs is as secure as your Google account.
It's not really designed for that, but if you wanted it there, you could make a shortcut that points to the URL of the file or you could install the program that syncs Google Drive to your computer.
When you know how it works but you still watch it cause why not
Yep.
You said it
The 'link to Google Sheet range' tip was very helpful. Thank you!
I put this tutorial in bookmarks so I can study it a few times. Thank you :)
Thanks for the compliment. Feedback like yours makes these videos rewarding for me.
As a MS word user, this was pretty useful to know where everything is on Google docs thanks!

Happy to let you know that what I learned I applied in a temp position I just finished. My next challenge is to brush up on Microsoft Excel.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to go back and look at the table of contents portion. Maybe I could brush it up for the next version.
If you click 3 times on a paragraph you can highlight it all. Command A selects the whole document.

If a simple table is used in a google doc, is there a way to specify row headers to make it readable?
Hi, just wanted to thank you for doing this video. I have recently switched to google services from iWork and it has not been as smooth as I tough. This video really helped me out!
I'm glad the video helped. Google makes solid software. I bet you'll warm up to it quickly.

Good video. Been working with word processors since Word and never knew that little indent trick on the bag at the top. It seems I am always learning something new.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am looking for, is there a way to retain the header of table after page break?
Yeah, just make sure you put it in the area made for headers instead of the body of the document.
Too good, , In details Step by step with practical Demo...Thanxs
You are most welcome
Fabulous! Very informative, clear and just perfect for me. The passing was great too.
Thank you, but I've got to ask. What's "the passing"? Is that a reference to something in the video? It's been a while since I made it.

Hi, is there a way to duplicate a Google Doc and change the name and some content, for the document. I am used to using Word and using "save as".
When my daughter is sick, I send a note to the school with the only changes that are made is to each note is:
. the date I sent the note
. each day and date she was off school sick for that period of time
when I save each note, I "save as" with the heading - absent 1, absent 2, absent 3.........then place each of these notes in a folder name for that year - 2011, 2012, 2013
This way I can keep track of the days my daughter is off sick and keep track when the school contact us of a missing absent note
I suppose this would be the same when you are doing a letter for work/business and have to send the same letter , but just change a few details (and possible to keep each copy)
With Google Docs, it doesnt have the "save as" option, as it saves your work as you go - but what happens when you need the "save as" option, same letter but to change small sections of it
Thanks Sean
Try going to File, then Make a copy. Then you can name the new copy whatever you would like and it separates from the current copy.
@@ProlificOaktree Thank you so much...

Google docs for writers..not students doing a paper.. please do one . And some of us are " older" and need slower instruction..thx
I like the idea of a video on Google Docs for writers. I've never thought of that angle before. I'm working on ideas for it now. Thanks!
good job. Thank you.
I want to use Google Docs, but is it safe? There is no log in or passwords that I've found. Thanks
If it’s not requiring you to log in, then that means that you are already logged into a Google account and it’s using that. Docs is as secure as your Google account.
Very informative! I wrote a book in google docs. I did everything you said but it won’t let me justify
Does it let you change the alignment at all? Make sure you hit return at the end of each paragraph.
Prolific Oaktree yes..left,center and right but not justify
when I finish writing something how do I put it in my desktop?
It's not really designed for that, but if you wanted it there, you could make a shortcut that points to the URL of the file or you could install the program that syncs Google Drive to your computer.
Thank you very much
