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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
This is always the case with Google apps: Has no relation to the instructions or demos. The most fundamental basic function has no relation to the real world experience of users. .e.g. I open docs and and there is no template pane as shown. It's either their way or the highway.
I am typing a document and i reach 4of4 and i am not getting any more pages what to do I am looking at your tutorial but I am not getting the help .I am a new comer. Thank you.
Just keep typing!!! Kidding, but really, unless you are trying to manually control the number of pages by inserting page breaks, the pages just break as you keep typing.
@@ProlificOaktree Thank you, all I had to do was to press enter and it just continued its just because I am not so familiar but I am getting through, thanks again.God bless.

None of your advice applies to mobile, cellular, which is the present and future of technology. Also, the extensive coverage of headings. etc. is not what most people use Docs. for. I have been using it since it first came out, on mobile, cellular.
I do the tutorials on the desktop version because you can see the mouse and the desktop version has all of the functionality. If I did the tutorials on mobile, you would see the limited options that are available there. If that's all you use, I commend you! I can use these apps on a tablet with a keyboard, but anything more than a quick update on a phone is painful for me. The keyboard hides too much of the screen.
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.
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.
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!
All good unless you open a new page from the Docs app on a Chromebook. You do not get a tool bar. Nearly impossible to use. You have to open Docs from an internet browser.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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?
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?

@@ProlificOaktree Too bad, thanks for your input though. Gonna keep on searching for a solution :)
Is there split cell option available in Google doc????

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.
