Tips for Using Google Documents
DREW NOAH: So now I just want to kinda wrap up, and so I've discussed everything, all the, like, basics of what you can do with Google Documents. And I hope you realize when watching this, like, how powerful a tool this is 'cause it gives you all these things that everybody uses or most everybody has to use day-to-day on their computer: a word processing program, a spreadsheet program. These two are probably the most you have to use but then also a presentation program. And it puts it all online. So if you're like me and you're going from computer to computer, this is why it's really useful 'cause everything is online. I can edit it on one computer and then, as soon as I go to the other one, the edits are there. I don't have to worry about moving files around or anything like that. And I think what I like about it, too, is it's kinda like a simplified version of all these programs. But it's still, I think with 90 percent of people, the only things they use, Google Documents has included. You might notice on, like, other word processing programs, it's just--they have so many options. It's a little bit ridiculous when most of us are using all the same things over and over and fairly simple things which are all pretty much here in Google Documents. So that's one of the coolest things. And then it's also cool how it's compatible with other processing programs like Microsoft Office and OpenOffice, and so that's why it's so awesome. But just to--if you're ever having any problems--oops--well, there are your settings right there if you need to do that. But I just want to mention real fast about the Help Center, and Google has a really great Help Center if you ever have any other questions that maybe weren't answered in these videos or just very specific. And you can see they've divided it between "Documents," "Spreadsheets" and "Presentations." So that's it. That's all the basics of using Google Documents, and I use it to organize all my own documents and my business documents as well. And I just find it incredibly useful and I hope you will, as well.
