Google Docs - Student Guide

Pdf Summary

This document is a CustomGuide training manual (2019) for Google Docs, organized into modules that teach core skills for creating, editing, formatting, and sharing documents. It begins with setup instructions for hands-on practice files: update Google Drive settings to automatically convert uploaded Word (.docx) files to Google Docs format, create a practice folder in Drive, and upload the provided module folders.<br /><br />The “Docs Fundamentals” module covers creating blank documents or using templates, naming files, and relying on automatic saving. It explains how to open documents from Google Drive or from within Docs, and introduces file management tasks such as renaming, starring, copying, moving, deleting (to trash), and printing with common print options.<br /><br />The editing module teaches selecting text (block, word, paragraph, or entire document), editing content, and using cut/copy/paste (including drag-and-drop). It also covers inserting page breaks, undo/redo, viewing word count, using the dictionary and synonyms, checking spelling and grammar (correcting, ignoring, adding words to a personal dictionary), and finding/replacing text.<br /><br />Formatting instruction includes character formatting (bold/italic/underline, color/highlight, strikethrough, superscript/subscript), changing fonts and sizes, creating and customizing bulleted/numbered lists and list levels, paragraph alignment and indentation, and adjusting line/paragraph spacing. It explains using paragraph styles for consistency, updating or resetting styles, using the format painter, clearing formatting, setting and managing tab stops, and creating multi-column layouts with column breaks.<br /><br />Additional modules cover page setup (margins, orientation, paper size, page color), headers/footers, and page numbers. Object insertion topics include images with text wrapping, hyperlinks (to URLs or headings/bookmarks), special characters, tables of contents (and updating them), and bookmarks with navigation links. Table lessons include inserting and editing tables, adding/removing rows/columns, deleting tables, formatting borders and shading, resizing/distributing rows/columns, aligning tables, and moving tables.<br /><br />The final section focuses on collaboration and distribution: uploading and converting documents, downloading or emailing as attachments, sharing with permission levels (edit/comment/view), comments and threads, Suggesting mode with accept/reject workflow, version history (view, name, restore), and installing/accessing Docs add-ons.
