Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hey there, welcome to my course on everything you need to know in Google Docs. This course is made for beginners out there who aren't sure how to use the tool. And maybe for some well rehearsed Google Doc users out there who want to sharpen their skills. In this course, we'll cover all of the basics from creating and sharing Google Docs, collaborating with others, how to write out titles, texts, formatting, inserting charts, bar charts, tables, headers, filters, page numbers, alignments, paragraphs, thoughts, and everything else you can imagine we cover a load in this course. If you currently use Microsoft Word, you might be familiar with word editors. Google Docs is definitely a great tool to use. Everything you do is online, saved, would every edit and accessible from anywhere? Google Docs is totally free with a Gmail account, which we will create together in this course and also Google Docs. You can go back to versions from two weeks ago and edit those and bring them back to life. And the great thing about Google Docs is you can access it from anywhere on your phone, tablet, or desktop. My name is Kevin. Previously, I was a technical support agent for G Suite to Google professional workplace tools. I have years of experience using Google's services and you may have already seen one of my other courses on this platform. If you're ready to jump in and learn Google Docs with no nonsense. This is the course for you and I look forward to seeing you inside. 2. Creating a Google Account: Hey there and welcome to the first video in this course. In this video, we're going to create a Google account, okay? Because you'll need this to use Google Docs. And after that, you really just need a computer with an Internet connection, okay, to follow this course. So to create a Google account and we're going to go through it together. If you already have one, feel free to skip this video and you can continue into the next video. But for now, let's jump right in. So we're on the Google.com homepage here, okay, and we need to create an account. So we're going to hover over to the top right-hand side of Google.com. So I would advise firstly, use Google Chrome if you can. You might use Firefox, you might use Safari. Understandable, this should be fine, but it is best to use Google Chrome where possible. Okay, it just works better with the Google tools. So anyway, let's get back to where I was on the top right-hand side here. Click sign in. Okay. So it's going to ask for an email or phone, but we don't have an account yet. So you can hover down to the link here that says Create Account. Now we're going to click for myself this time. Okay, So here we're going to enter some details are FirstName, LastName. We can create our email address at gmail.com. Now the thing is, you can't use one that someone else already has out there. So it has to be pretty unique. So I'm going to try a couple here and let's see how we get on learning docs. Okay. I was gonna say learning docs might be taken, but learning docks at Gmail account, it's pretty easy. It's available. So I'll take that and we just need to come up with a password. So just remember to keep note of your password in case you need to sign in at anytime. Okay. So I have my first name, my username, my password, and we're going to click Next. So here it's going to ask for our phone number. You might not get this screen. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But I've created a couple of accounts making courses. So it's kind of trying to verify if I'm real or not. So I'm going to enter my phone number here and I'm going to click Next. Okay? So basically I need to verify this using a code. So I'm just going to quickly run through this. So you might not see me entering my phone number if that's okay. So we'll skip to the next step. Okay. So there was I just verified my account using a phone. You might not need to do that, but I had to do that. But if you do just enter your phone number, it'll send you a text. You entered a coding, and you can continue to process. Okay? So you more than likely will see a screen like this where you get to enter your phone number optionally, and maybe adding a backup address, your birthday, and other information. So feel free to fill this out. All we need to do really is just enter, enter our birthday. So I'm going to enter a random date here. I don't know, I just picked a random days. It could be July, could be marched, could create broad, I don't know, It could be anything. So I'm going to click mail for gender. And I'm going to click Next. And then it get basically asks us, okay, walk in a setting that you want you express and personalization or manual personalization, just click Express for now, that's fine. Here, eat. You got to confirm some cookie and personalization settings. Feel free to read through this if you'd like, make sure that you're okay with following this. I'm just going to click Confirm and the privacy in terms conditions as well. I'm going to click I agree. So feel free to have a look through that if you'd like. And voila, you have a new gmail.com account. Okay. So it brought me back to good law com and it's after signing me in to Google my Gmail account. Now to confirm that, I'm going to hover over to the top right-hand side of the screen, hover over this k and click on it. And here it will say Kevin O'Brien learning docks at gmail.com and I am signed in to Google. So that's really going to help us in the next video where we will go through some different ways to access Google Docs. So some are easier than others, but we're really getting there. Okay. This is just set up some setup to make sure you're good to go, but we're going to get to the Google Docs right away. So in the next video, I'll see you there. 3. Accessing Google Docs: Okay, welcome back. So in this video, we're going to go through a couple of ways to access Google Docs quickly and easily. So let's jump right in. So here I am at the google.com homepage. We have the search bar or Google icon. This is the doodle they call it, so it'll change if so often. But this is what our google.com page looks like. Notice a couple of ways to access Google Docs, okay, we could simply go to the search and type in Google Docs and hit Search. So you'll see here google.com, google Docs, free online documents for personal use. And we could click here, okay, and it'll show us a bit about Google Docs. And we could click on go to Google Docs. Now that took us to search the clinic, the another click and here we are. Okay, so both three or four clicks, not a big deal, right? But there are easier ways to do it. So for example, I'm going to go back to Google.com for where we started and I'm going to show you another way. So on the top right hand side here near our login icon, There's a short grades that's called Google Apps. Now if we click on this, it will show us all of the Google services and tools that we can access. So we have Search, Maps, News, YouTube, Gmail, and oh, guess what if I scroll all the way down Docs so I can just click on docs. And here we are exactly to Google Docs the same way we did when we had to click Search and search for it and all of this and all of that, you know. Notice another is that's the second way. The third way. And let me just go back to Google.com again. Okay, the third way we could access Google Docs is by remembering the URL bar. So on the URL up here we remember docs dot google.com. So think of google.com and before it's put DOC S dot, then Google luck on docs dot google.com. If I hit Enter, it will bring me straight through to the website, to the Google Docs interface. So three little ways rights to access Google Docs. I'll actually show you another way to create a dark really quickly. That's it, that'll be in the next video. But some people might be happy going into the search bar every time. Personally, I go straight to degrade here and I click on docs here, I find this very easily. Click a little fake, redoes the page and you're in. Now, you could also type in docs dot google.com there too. But anyway, whatever suit yourself just wanted to give you all the different ways of accessing the tool. And in the next video we're going to start going over the interface which we see right in front of us. So I look forward to seeing you then. 4. Creating a Doc: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at the Google Docs interface. Okay, just a quick scan over what docs dot google.com looks like before we start creating a duck. So let's jump right in. Okay, So just carrying on from the last video, here we are at docs dot google.com, right? Just have a quick scan over the interface here. On the top left we have our main menu. So if I click on that, it'll open up some shortcuts to other Google tools such as Docs sheets, Slides, and forums. Now we're already on doc, so I don't know why I chose that, but anyway, it's an overview. We have some settings, help and feedback and link to drive. Now we can just click on the screen to close that off. We have our docs logo. If I click on that, it will just bring me back to where we are. On the top of page, we have our search icon. Now if I had 500 documents here and I needed to search for I don't know, my CV your my resume. I could type in resume or find it here. And it would show up the related docks with the keyword from the title or the keyword from the body. But there's no docks here at the moment. So that won't help me. Over here on the right, just like we saw in the last video, we have our Google Apps shortcuts here, as well as our sign-in so we can make sure we're signed in with the correct account. For example, you can sign in with many Google accounts at the same time, but you can only use one at a time. So or one at a time within one tab, I could open another tab and he's another Google account. But we don't need to worry about that right now. Anyway, for now, make sure you're signed in with the account you want to create a doc with. Okay. So here we have starch new document. I could click Blank and create a new document right now. Or I can choose from many templates here. So we have a resume template. Several of them actually a letter, project proposal, a brochure report. And I mean, what's cool about these is they come with preset headers, fonts, layouts, all that kinda stuff done first so we can just fill in the blanks. Now, there's many more. If you click on Template Gallery, it just basically brings down the entire list for us. So here we have all the different types of resumes you can pick from letters, personal war, look at all of these loads that you can work with. Here are some add-ons here that you can kinda get from third-party sources. We won't worry about that right now. Here we have some essays, notes like got some really, really cool stuff. For example, let's look at this one. It's called the lesson plan. If I click on this, it will create a new document in my Docs list called lesson plan. It's actually saving to draw you right now. And basically it allows me to replace whatever I want here and just continue from there. So name of the lesson, Let's just remove this and say learning ducks. Okay, so you can see how I could make a lesson plan here and send this to students if I needed to. And I could replace all of this information and make it my own. So the most useful part of this is it cuts right to the chase. Okay, now we're going to go all over the tools and functions we see in talks here. So we don't need to worry about this too much. So for that reason, I'm going to click either the back button or the Google Docs icon, this blue sheet of paper here. And that would bring me back to the docs screen. Okay, so now that we're back here, Let's create a Google Doc from scratch, right? So basically, there's a couple of ways to do this. You can click on the blank icon here. And that will create a Google Doc for us. Right? If we go back to our docs list, there's actually a very clever way. Let's say, you know what? I'm just going to try this out. I'm going to open a new tab and I'm going to go to google.com. Here's a really cool tip. So if you're on this screen and you want to create a new doc and you don't want to go to darks and openness, you can actually type in the URL bar, doc dot nu. And if I click this, it will immediately create a new document for me. Really, really cool. I only found this out quite recently. So I was going into dogs, create a new doc would just find. But there's a little shortcut that you might find useful as well. Docs dot new and it creates a brand new document here. Okay, so brilliant. Look. In the next video, we're going to jump in and explain all of the layouts here, the editor tools, and we're going to work through what makes this software so cool and how you can get the most out of us. And I look forward to seeing you in the next video where we cover all of those cool topic. So I'll see you then. 5. Docs Editor Window: Hey there and welcome back to the next video in this course. So in this video we're going to have an overview of the editor in Google Docs. We're going to have a quick look at the toolbar and some editing functions. And then we're going to jump right in. Okay, so Let's start the video now. So here I am on the Google Docs editor window. We finished the last video, we created a doc. So now we're going to look at what we can do with a dark, okay? So it's a lovely clean interface. I must say, it's quite efficient looking kinda doesn't distract too much. There's quite a lot of power in these tools though. So for example, let's just start from the top up here, we have the button to go back home, which were used in the last video. And just to the right, we have the title, so we can actually rename this. Currently it's called untitled document. That's by default. Okay. If you don't give it a name, it we'll call it untitled document. So we're going to call it test document. Okay. So saved. Perfect. And see there it says saving and saved to drive, right? So it's saved on the Cloud. The fantastic thing about Google Docs, it's saving all the time. As soon as I make any change, it's saving and save to drive. Okay. Now, if you're not sure what drivers drive is kind of the storage facility where all of your docs, your sheets in your slides go. I'll have a whole video on Google Drive, on my profile. Feel free to go there and have a look at the Google Drive course of mine. If you'd like to learn about how Dr. works with all the other ways and services you have, okay? But the sole purpose of this course is to kind of focus on Docs itself. So basically we have a dock here, we give it a name and we can star it. We can move it in drive and see its status and drive. So they're kinda drive icons related to this. But we don't need to worry about that for now because we just want to use Google Docs. Here we have the file edit view insert. We have a lot of options within these. We're going to go through those at a later date. Okay, some stuff we can do with the file editing in the file, how we view the file formatting tools and et cetera. Then the toolbar underneath it is sort of the editing functions we have within Drive. So we have the undo redo, we can print here, we can paint, we can do a Zoom, then we can set our fonts and set our text styles. We're going to go through these, okay, don't worry about it. We're gonna go through all of these and testes. You can set your font size, bold, italics underline. We've seen these maybe in Word or similar softwares. We can do hyperlinks, comments and images, text alignment to left, right, centered or justified. We can also look at line and paragraph settings, checklists, and et cetera, like it. It looks scary when you look at it first you're like, Whoa, there's a lot here but we'll go through each of them. Then on, you can kinda see on the left-hand side here and on the top we have our kind of measurements, okay? And this is where we can set the page margins. So we can kinda set the margins all the way out to where our page margins go. Okay. We can go all the way up to the very edge of the document to kind of remove every margin. So our horizontal Americans are on the top and our vertical Americans are here on the left. Okay, so we can kind of move these up and down. Notice there you can see how I drag it. It really allows us to go to the very edge of the page and I can bring that down as well and move it around. Now, I'm just going to undo those by clicking the undo button here in the top left. I'm going to take undue lots, Okay. And we're back to normal, Okay? So you never really have to use the margins. If you do need to use the margins though, they are there, you have the options to set margins, okay, you can do your left indent and your first-line indent as well on the right-hand side, okay, you can go for your margin as well. Right? So here is the editor screen, the page we have. You can see the blinking line here. So it's telling us to write something. So I could say, hi, This is my first document, okay. And as you can see, I can hit the Enter key and I go all the way down. And if I was to keep going and creating random things, it would eventually just kinda like Microsoft Word. It would go onto a second page automatically. So notice how the first page isn't there until we finished the end of or the second page isn't there until we've finished the end of the first one. And I'm going to click back. And when I delete everything on the second page, we are left with just the first page. Okay? Now I'm going to zoom out of the page here and you can kinda see how the document stands on its own, this whole square here. Okay? So don't hesitate to zoom out if you need to look at the whole thing in one go. But we're just dealing with one page here. Now I'm going to highlight all of this and just delete it. So just to finish off here, the overview of the editor window. We have our common history. We'll go through Commons later. We can present this in a meeting. So we can actually present the dock in a meeting in a way where we could add it to a calendar and use it with Google Meet. Google Meet is another software that I have a course on if you'd like. I have looked at us and we can hide the menus here entirety by just hiding the top menus and just showing the toolbar. I'm going to bring them back down by clicking this button here. And on the right we just have some shortcuts to Google Keep and, and tasks which are other Google tools as well. So you might have noticed already, we're primarily focusing on everything right here, this document and a toolbar along the top here, that's kind of where all the magic happens. So anyway, that was just a quick overview. We kinda looked at page margins there for a little bit. I mean, I could write down here, this is my first document. Now this is in normal text. As you can see, normal text is highlighted here. Let's say if I wanted to make this a header, I wanted to make it the biggest header on the page. I could go click on normal text with the text highlighted. And I could play, I could click on Title. I want to make that the title and see how it brings it up. All right, it's up to bring it into font 26. I can change that afterwards. But the default there for title is fun 26. I could make it a subtitle. So it kind of makes it at 115. You notice even the color changes a little bit. Again. I can highlight this and bring it up or down. I could go here and go heading one, heading two, heading 3, all the way back to normal text. Okay, so you can see that you can have subheadings within your document and normal texts. So I can say Do no header heading. And let's highlight this and give this the heading one. And then that's my text underneath it. Then let's say sub heading, right? I can highlight this and go head into. And then I could hit the space or the Enter key and it goes back to normal text immediately. This is normal text size. If I get my spending right, that's just a very, very bare-bones example there of titles and, and normal text. As you can see, it's very intuitive. Just highlight what you need to highlight and you can change it there as well, okay? Generally you will only ever really worked with title and maybe heading 1 and heading 2. If you were really gone in depth, you could do a lot more headings, okay? But you'll find even in the templates we looked at in the last video, they kind of just stick with the first one or two headings and then change the text after that. Okay, cool. So let's leave that at that now. Okay, in the next video, we're going to play around a bit morbid fonts and colors. So I look forward to seeing you in that video. 6. Fonts & Colors: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at fonts, colors, and just some other things to do with text. So let's jump right in. So here we are. We're looking at the same test document from the last video, but we're going to just mess around a little bit with some settings. Okay, so as you can see, we still had our heading from last time, heading one, heading two. And notice when I highlight them and I click on those lines, we have our style changes here. So here it says Heading 1, heading 2, and on the normal text it says normal text. Okay, so for example, let's change this heading to a different font. So currently the default font is Ariel. We could change this to months or at, for example, I really like this font. Okay, so let's go this one and let's say medium. Okay, Very nice. Now I want to change the normal texts also to the same style, Montserrat and no straight away how when I click on the fonts, we have the recent fund shows up in the top, so I don't have to keep searching through all of these. I can just go to Missouri and click on this and it changes that there as well. Now, you might say that that is not as nice as the one below, but I don't know, I really like the Montserrat font. So I'm going to remove this completely. And I'm just going to stick with this heading and this normal text. How I this is my first document. I plan on using google Docs for lots of projects. And hopefully Kevin will help me do so. Okay, exclamation mark is my face. Okay, cool. So let's make this a bit crazy. Okay, So here we have, we talked about our styles, we talked about our fonts. Do you know we can easily highlight this entire thing, go to the font section and change it to Georgia if we wanted to, we could change it to Laura as we want as well, but I'm going to put it back two months or out. So just showing that essentially, you could change the fonts anywhere along the way. Now notice how even when I create a new paragraph, Montserrat now becomes the default when I'm coming from the old sentence, it's carrying it over. It's not going back to area. Let's stick into months are right now. Cool. Now, what if I wanted to change this heading to a bigger font size? So currently it's set at 20. I could just keep clicking on the plus icon and make it quite big. Or I could change it here manually by going 50. Okay? For example, I could make this heading bold. So if I click on bold, now we have a bold heading. I could italic italics to it and underline. Okay. You could do that if you wanted to. Now, here we have two options for text color and highlight color. So text color is the color of the actual texts and font itself. So there's a blue here. I'm going to click on it and change it to blue. Now, let's say I want the D, I and G to be a different color. I could highlight those letters and change them to read. Okay, So just showing how granular you can get with this. Let's put the h back to black now and it doesn't look very pretty at all. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe this is exactly what you're looking for, you know. But let's say the background, I can actually highlight all of this. And I can go to the highlight color. And what that does is it changes the background color behind the Fontan text. So if I click on highlight color and I go to a light red, look at that. So it's after changing the background highlight color to that light rate, I can hover over it again and I can go back and I can click on none again. Okay? And it will remove everything. If I want to highlight all of this and go to the text color, I could go back and just click on black for all of it and it all goes back to normal. Now, I kinda like those colors. I'm going to leave the colors there for oil to play around. And actually that's going to make this a, let's just make that yellow. Why not? It's almost become an invisible. It's so yellow. Is there some sort of darker yellow maybe? Oh yeah, look at this. Okay. Even better goes We've got a heading, but loads of colors, italics, you can see what we're doing here. We're having a bit of fun, right? So that's kind of mess in with fonts and colors. Okay, we won't go too much into it. You can really mess around there, add loads of fonts. You can add more colors with different fonts and text styles. You can do mix and match. Chances are you're going to really just stick with one type of font for everything. Or you might have a different font for your headers, then you do for your paragraphs. But let's end the video there. Okay, this was supposed to be a short one and colors, but we've ended up going a bit too far. In the next video, we're going to jump over some more settings. So I look forward to seeing you then. 7. Hyperlinks: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at hyperlinks with internal and external links to your Google Doc. And maybe some stuff that you can use for like a table of contents. And the inner, let's jump right in. I just hit my mike. What we're gonna do is we're going to add a hyperlink to this document. So we're going to add a link Firstly for an external URL or file. So we have a heading and we have, let's say a title here. Let's say this is a project you're working on and you need to add an external resource. You can say, for more information on this, please visit here, okay? And what we want is we want please visit here or just here as a underlined clickable link. Okay, so we can do that by highlighting the text. We want to create a link, highlight that text, and go up here to the Insert Link button. Okay, so if we click on that, now it says write, insert a link for us keV. So what I'm going to do is let's open a new tab. I don't know, and this was go to BBC.com. I'm just unclicking a random URL for now. Okay? I'm just going to click bbc.com. And I'm going to go back to our document. I'm going to paste in that link there. Okay, And when I had the link, when you click Apply. Now look at this for more information please visit and the clickable link is there. Okay, and if I click on this, it will open BBC.com. If this was a PDF and I was sharing it with somebody. And they open this and click the link. It will open to that new document as well. Okay, so you can add all sorts of external resources by using that link button. Does that make sense? So I'll tell you what, let height actually, let's, let's go down here. I'm going to hit paragraph all the way down. Okay. All the way down until I create a second page. Here we are. And I'm gonna say click here to go back to the start. Now I'm going to create an internal link. Okay, so if I highlight here, okay, and I click in the Insert Link button, I can select the heading that we have at the top of the document. You see this heading now the next just give it a name. Heading 1, 0, 1. Okay. I don't know. That's just given it a number to make it unique. If I go back down and I say click here, I click Insert Link, look at this heading, 1, 0, 1. So Google Docs is giving me an option to use headings that exist within the document and use them as links. So if I click on that and I click on the link, it's given me, it pushes me right back to the top. Okay, So I mentioned earlier you could use this in a table of contents scenario. You could have this document with 50 headings all the way down. Let's say the introduction is welcome to my thesis, so welcome to my project outline. It's made up of 20 sections or 20 sections with 20 headings. Each of those headings become a link. So if you had a table of contents on your first page, you could highlight, do know, table of contents, heading one to go here instead of scrolling all the way down and click here to go to section 5. And if you highlight section 5 and insert the head in for Section five, just as I did here. It will bring you all the way down, just as well as this link brings you all the way back to the top. I hope that makes sense. If you're ever stuck on anything I ever mentioned or you think I go on too much or maybe I just skim over it. Feel free to leave a question in the discussions area on this course, okay? Leave a question there for me. I'm always happy to get back. So that's how to do internal heading. And that's how an external head and works here. So just one final thing, actually, this is helpful for when you're editing the document. Did you notice here on the left-hand side we have Heading 1, 0, 1 here with an x and with this kind of arrow, Google Docs introduced this handy tool that adds all of the headings on our documents to the left-hand side just for us to quickly skim through them. So for example, if I said Heading 2, and if I highlight this and I make it a heading to see Heading one takes precedence and head into is a sub-heading of heading one. If I come back in here and I make it a heading 1, it's identical. It doesn't go under it. So I can click here and click in here. And notice how it brings me to the headings. If I have this heading all the way down on page 2, and I delete this one here. I click on Heading 2, do-do, do-do, do-do. If I click on that, it drags me down to the next page. Okay, that's really, really useful when you're editing and editing a document with maybe hundreds of pages. So this is very useful. If you find this annoying, you can actually just close the document outline and just get that out of the way. Okay. If you like looking at it, you can open it again. If you find that this is picking up all of the headings and you don't want all of the headings on the outline. You can click on the x on the right-hand side and just remove it. Okay, So there's many ways of customizing the two exactly what you need for your document. So I hope that makes sense. We've covered internal, external headings and the document outline on this video, as well as some useful cases that you would use them in, or should I say useful scenarios. Anyway. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you in the next video and goodbye for now. 8. Adding Comments: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at adding comments to Google Documents. Now, comments are a useful way to help you. Kind of maybe you reflect on your document or maybe add some notes to edit later. But Google Docs is a highly collaborative tool. So even though you have one document, you can share this with many, many other people and everyone can edit the same documents. So if I have a document and I shared it with my friend Bob, Bob's free to come to my document and leave a comment on a section. Maybe it needs updating, maybe he has an opinion. But anyway, we're going to quickly look at commons in Google Docs. Okay, so let's jump right in. So here I am on the Google Docs editor. We're continuing from the last video and we're going to look at the comments section. All right. Oh, my phone's going beep, beep. So you'll notice here, as I click on some texts, I can actually add a comment right here. So let's say for more information visit here, right? I'm going to leave my cursor here and I want to, maybe I'm not sure if this is the correct URL to use. So I'm going to leave my eyes and my, my cursor here, and I'm going to add a comment. Now, I clicked Add common tier, which is next to the Insert Link button. And it's saying Kevin O'Brien, which is me. It's using my Google account. And it says comment with on the highlighted area, highlighted the text here. Now I could highlight this whole line and add a comment. And it would denote add a comment in relation to the highlighted area. Now I click the Add Comment button at the top toolbar. But notice when I highlight this text and look what I have here. I also have some options. Add comment, or suggest edits. They're very much similar in their nature, but we're just going to look at comments now so I can add a comment regarding the highlighted text. I could say at Bob. So let's say if I did at Bob and I knew his email address, he would actually get tagged in this as well. So I could say Up bob, hey, is this the correct link? And add a comment? Or I could say down here, Dino, I can leave a comment for myself. I could say, hey, fix this later. It needs updating. See. And what I could do then is at a different time I could come back and I could hit the Check button and mark it as resolved. So let's say this is the correct title and the next day I come back and it's all okay. I'm going to click markers resolved and it's gone. And I can come up here and mark this as resolved. Or Bob could come in and reply to my comment. Now, I must note, in order for Bob to even viewed as document, you'd have to have Bob's e-mail address and you would have to share the document. So let's quickly look at that. Again. I covered this a lot in my Google Drive course on my profile as well. But it's okay, I'll just touch on it here. Sharing documents is very useful. You could see this big Share button on the top right. Currently this document only I can view it when I'm signed into Google. But if I click Share, I can add someone else's Google account to the list of names here. So if I went Bob at gmail.com, which is not an email address right away. I'm just making this up. And if that was my friend's e-mail address, I could add it and click Done. And Bob would be added to the document where he could view it, edit it, add comments. Okay, so it's very useful. So if I shared it to him first and give him access, that way I can comment him in comments and he could collaborate on the document with me. So it's very useful. Look, that's all I really wanted to show about Commons. You can add comments all over the place. I could click on this and click Okay, so we really touched on sharing and adding comments, the docs, it's very, very useful. In the next video, we're going to look at the next icon along this list, which is the images and how to play around with that. So I'll see you in the next video. 9. Images in Docs: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at images in Google Docs, how to insert images and where to get to. So let's jump right in. So here we are on the same document we've been working with all along. And we're going to look at inserting an image. So here I am. I just have the cursor here underneath my text. And we're going to hover up here to the Insert Image icon. So if I click on this, we have lots of different ways to insert images. This is what's really cool about Google Docs. I could upload a file from my computer. If I have an image on my computer, I can search the web. I can add a photo that already exists in my drive. If you click on Drive, it would open drive and ask you which one to insert. I don't think there's any images, so let me click Drive. I don't think I have any images in this account because it's brand new. So notice here how a tab opens. There's no images, my drawing is empty, nothing here. Now to close this, I'll just hover over the x. Now, if I was to go back and let's say add something from photos, it's the same. It'll open Google Photos. I don't have anything in Google Photos, which is another good and service. By the way, if I go add photo by URL, you can actually add a URL here. So it's very similar to adding from the web. So I'm going to click on Insert Image, and I'm going to click search the web. So here I'm going to search for either, no, I don't know a painting. I will just call random. So I think I'm painting and you have all of these images of painting from Google search. So I don't know if I was to click on this one here. I could highlight it and click Insert on the bottom here. And it will, it inserted the image of that Google's search for me. Now it's displaying on the page and it's actually too large. The image is too large for the document here. So things we can do is we can click on this image and you will see this blue line around this with these kind of grid marks in the corner. I can grab one of these and drag it in and make it smaller and it will keep to its resolution 0. So I'm after make it, it's so small it popped back up to the top page, right? So there's my painting and there's some options down here as well. Currently it's inline. So it's inline with text genome. Then you have Wrap Text. So I can do no texts would wrap around that as I write. There's other options here that it breaks the text. Then there's one here that is behind the text. So I can move it around and no sort of text stays above us. So that's kinda cool. And then there's one that is in front of text so I can actually block text with my image. So I don't know why you'd want to do that, but there's lots of different options here. Okay? Move a text fixed position, you can decide to just keep it in a fixed position no matter where the text is on the page. And you can do more position options here. Now, you're better off just even move with texts and whichever one suits you in line. So if I was like hit a new paragraph, notice how it keeps moving down. Now the luck he's moving on. Okay. And I can move that back. Get it depends on what you want to do with this. You could click, do you know, let's say Wrap Text. And if I go new paragraph or I can write on the right-hand side it like this, you know, it wraps around the text. Text wraps around it, which is kinda cool, rather than just being inlined. Know, so everything's wrapping around that. If I click on it and go back to the first option, everything pops inline with the text. So lots of different options. Again, it depends on what you want to do with your layout. Now, that's how to add an image from the web. And you can, if you found a URL for an image, you could edit there also. And you can also upload your own image. Lots of cool different options, lots of stuff to play with. I would advise just have loads of fun with this and play with it as much as you want. Okay? So really, that's all you need to look at in images. It really depends on what you're going to do with your image. So just have fun and see what you can do. So in the next video, we're going to look at some options with line-height, alignment of text and a few more options like that. So I look forward to seeing you in the next video. So I'll see you then. 10. Alignments, Line Heights, Listings...: Hey there and welcome back to the next video in this course. In this video we're going to cover some font options such as text alignment and kind of line-height, and just different things with bullet lists or numbered lists. So let's jump right in. So here we are on the same document as the last video. We have our image are heading or text. Now what I'm gonna do here is I'm going to just play with some alignment options. Up here on the top you can see the currently everything is aligned to the left-hand side of the page. So if I start a new paragraph, this is a new paragraph. It's going to align to the left-hand side from the beginning now that the options for alignments are here, so I can decide that this sentence needs to be centered. So I can highlight this and click the center aligned, and maybe even put an underscore not like that. So notice how this is left alignment, this is middle, this is centered, and you see this sentence here. Let's do this to the right-hand side, aligned to the right of the page. So it's going to take the very end of the sentence and align it to the right-hand side of the page. Now, I'm going to click on the top line here and just play with this. And I'm going to click on it justified. So what that does is it forces the sentence to stretch as much as it can from the left to the right margin. So the left margin we've created and the right margin we've created. So you will find a lot of official documents or news articles or things like that would follow the justified text layout. Okay. So if I was to copy this, Let's just say to fill space again and again, it makes sure that it's left and right aligned. If I highlight all of this and just do left, notice how we started getting some gaps here. While if I make it justified, it kind of sticks in like an official texts. Now we're gonna do undo. So I can click this button up here undo, or it can do an apple Command Z or on Windows Control Z. So I'm just going to undo some of these things here and bring it back to where it was. So there's some cool stuff there, right? That's text alignment. Right? Now the next one is a line and paragraph spacing. So you can do certain things here. So basically this explains the spaces between each of these lines, right? So the high, this is the first document. The distance from that to hopefully given with having to do it that vertical distance. So if I highlight this and go to line and paragraph spacing, I can click on single and notice how tight you didn't tighten it up a little bit. It just tightened a little bit. If I click on that and go back and go to 1.5, it's a greater distance between them. And some people might find that easier to read because it's differentiated more space to more, you know. So it really depends on the document you are creating. You could go double and that's a big distance between the two of them. You know. Let me highlight that again and just go back to 1, let's say 1.5 because that's actually a nicer kind of space through regional. Now there's some other options here like add space, but for paragraph. So if I was to click on this and write a bit, It's adding a space. Every time I add a paragraph, it's adding a space. Okay, let me click back on that. If I go down here, you can click on to remove the spaces before paragraphs. You can do some custom spacing as well. Lots of cool options here prevents single lines. So basically you will only ever really work with, you know, the, the line heights, okay, so they're really the ones that are you going to master it. Everything else really depends on what you're creating, but play with us, see what it does. And if it gets a bit crazy, not a hand, undo everything and just go back to the way it was maybe five or six changes beforehand. Okay. Later on, I'll actually show you how to look at revision histories in your document. Every time I make a change, there's a copy of the document saved. So I can always go back to a change had happened like 15 changes ago, and we're going to look at that later on in this course. So it's very handy. You can't, you really can't go wrong in these documents, you know. Anyway. So moving on from those line-height and alignment, on the right-hand side here again, we have checklists and bullet lists and numbered lists. So let's say I need to, for this course, I need to record videos. I'm going to say use my microphone and use my camera. Okay, I'm just making things up. Use my camera. So these really would be almost like checklists or numbered lists. So like if I highlight these and create a checklist, look at this, I can actually check them and check them off. So that's kinda cool. So by highlighting them and hovering over the checklist icon, I was able to check these and create a checkbox list. And even in the editor, I could actually click on this and check them off as well, which is pretty cool. So I guess I use this, I use this, I use this. Now I can hover them all and I could uncheck the checklists option and go to the bullet list. So they create bullets. And then you have some options for bullet lists. I can do certain kind of like I can do to squares. I can do the. Oh, let me go into the Options here. Arrows. I can do the stars to notice a few options here. You can really, really have a bit of fun, okay? But I'm just gonna go back to those here. Now, if this was like a step-by-step guide, what you would tend to do is make a numbered lists. So step one, record video step to use a microphone said three, use my camera. So to do that, we would highlight these and go to the numbered lists. So if I click on this, it goes 1, 2, and 3. So I've checked off of the bullet and I clicked on the numbered lists. And again, there's different options for the numbered list because it could be step one, record videos. If I hit the Enter key for new paragraph, it'll create a new step. But if I hit the Tab key on my keyboard, which is just above the caps key on the left-hand side. It goes step one, record videos, and then you can have substeps, you know, and I hit the Enter key. So step 2. And that was how this is all part of step one and step two and step three. Okay, so this is really cool. It's all in here in the numbered list, and it's all about hitting a new line with your Enter key and hitting the tab key. And I could do the tab key again and it creates another sub, sublists, you know, which is really, really useful. So honestly, after that, we're kinda just looking at a couple of more. I was going to make a separate video, but let's put it in this. While we're here. We have the decrease indent and the increase indent. So for example, if I highlighted this text here and clicked increase indent, because these are all part of the same numbered lists. They all increase in every time I click it. So if I need them more centered, or for example, if I want to bring them back to the left, I would decrease de-indent. Now if I did it for this sentence, it would only move that sentence. But when you create a numbered list are all part of the same unit. Now, I could highlight this and hit the back key, and it will go all the way back to the left alignment. But if you want to indent some, some, some steps, you could do this here too. And this last one is called Clear Formatting. Okay, So let's say like this is a mess. I've got some alignment issues, I've got steps, I've got everything. I can highlight all of this. Oops, let me try that again. I can highlight everything here and click the Clear Formatting button. And everything goes back to its absolute, the default. It even changes the arial font from Montserrat. So it's completely gone back to the default. Okay, so let me click on do. And I'll just do a few more undoes. I can go back here. I can highlight these two together and I can click left aligned, and they're all back to normalize that as well. Do you know my because I was typing more there's less space on this page, so the image move down to the next page. So I can maybe make this smaller and it should snap back to the original page. There we go. Now I'm going to delete this here, right? And I'm gonna show you one last thing. We have one page here. I can create something called a page break. Okay, So let me see, Let right look, I enter a new page and I go, this is page two. Now if I want the rest of this page empty and I want to create a new page, I'm going to have to keep enter all the way down. But if I hold on Mac anyway, if you hold Command and Enter or Control Enter and Windows, it'll create a new page for you. It'll create a page break. So this whole page is still able. You can edit what you want. Oh, sorry, I actually hit the Enter key. There were excellent. You can enter here what you want. And it's still leave Page 3 alone. I ended that there if that's my bed page tree. So la, la, la, la. Oh, I think I have to page breaks and I have to break into page breaks. Anyway, the most important thing to know is page breaks, right? You're gonna hit Command and Enter and it begins a new page and leaves the old page where it was. So it's very useful that way. Right? I think this video is turning it into a longer video than I expected. So in the next video, we're going to start going over some of the tools in the Google toolbar here are the menu virus, or should I say, such as file, edit view and all that kinda stuff to really deepen a bit more. So I look forward to seeing you in the next video. 11. Printing & Grammar Check: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at just some more options along the top menu bar. So let's jump right in. Okay, so here we are on the document that we were working on for the whole course. And we're just going to look at some of the options over here on the left-hand side that we may have skipped earlier. Okay. So I purposely skipped on them. But if you were wondering, we're going back to them now. So we have our undo and redo buttons here as we used earlier, but here we have the print option. So for example, I have a one-page document here, which is a pure alter, chaotic mess. Those, if we click on print, we can have some print options. Now I'm using Chrome, so you might have different print windows depending on what you're using. If you're using Safari, the window you're seeing right now might be very different to what I'm seeing. So that's why earlier I was suggesting Chrome is a good one to use if you focus on using Google tools. Anyway, here we have our document and on the top right-hand side we have some options. You can click on a printer, for example. You can click on Save as PDF. You can actually save this document as a PDF and download it to your computer. But let's say if you were printing to a printer, here are your options. You can click on webpages you want to print. Here I have them all because I don't have one page, but if I attend pages, I could specifically select what pages I want to print. How many copies? Let's say I want 10 copies. And if I want them in color or black and white. Now, if I hit black and white, it'll show me what it's going to look like if I color, it's going to show me what it's gonna look like. Some more settings here. Paper size, again depends on your printer. Pages per sheet. You can say, you know, 246 pages per sheet. Just stick to one. Margins are default. Scale, default, two-sided. You can say print on both sides. Or if you want one page per one Dino sheet, you don't have to print on both sides. Here we have the options for headers and footers so we can remove them. You can see up here we have a header and a footer. So the header is a date and the document and the bottom is the URL. We can actually remove those completely. And we have some background graphics. You don't have to worry about that. So there's some options anyway, if you were printing onto a document, just a quick overview. Now we're not going to print today. I'm going to click Cancel. So that's our printing window, right? Spelling and grammar check. So this is really handy. If you click on the spelling and grammar, check it, we'll have a look and it says document looks good. So far I did everything okay with spelling and grammar. Let's say if I said something like I do need one. Fast dock. Dock. Dock you men. Oh, a. Corrected it automatically. Okay. Let's run the spelling and grammar check. Alright, it's telling me something's wrong. It's telling me the Word document should be changed to document. Now I can ignore it and I can accept this if I click accept and except set. Now this chromatic grammatically may be correct. I'm trying to not think is only grammatically correct, but it corrected the Word document for us. That's very useful if you wrote 20 pages for an essay or a college project or a work assignment or report to review. It's a very handy to it'll just scan the whole document for you and suggest things for you. Now, I always suggested reading over everything, but it's very useful that way. Okay? And then we have here, so the paint format, not a big deal. You can kinda highlight some texts and take the formats right. You can format the document to what way you want it to fit its original document. You know, again, it's not a big deal. You wouldn't really use that. I'm going to just hit the Undo. So the big ones here is the print and the grammar check. Now, right? Let's just have a quick overview. We read through everything along this toolbar, everything. So it's been very useful. We looked at sharing and we looked at comments. Okay, you can open the common history here even. And we looked at hiding this and showing this toolbar. Here we have the editing drop-down and you can actually change it to suggesting. So I can't edit the document right now. I can only suggest and viewing. So this is what it would look like if you're viewing the final document. Look, my my edit toolbar has gone. Now I can go back here and change this to editing. And it brings back my editing window. So they're just different views you can take. In the next couple of videos, I'm going to go through the file, edit view, insert format Tools, Add-ons and help. Okay? And some of them I'm going to do separately, some of them I'm going to put them together. But there are some very, very useful functionality within these. So I look forward to seeing you in the next video where I began to cover them. So bye for now. 12. File Menu: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video, we're going to look over the menu options and the top of the Google doc editor window. So let's jump right in. So here we are in the same Doc we've been using all along. And we're gonna go through the file edit and view today, okay? And there are salts we're going to be true in momentarily. But for now, let's just open our file window and let's have a quick scan on the most important parts of the options here. We've looked at sharing the document before. So from here, you can click File Share and you can share it with somebody. Remember Bob, we talked about sharing it with. You could do that here too. It's the same window as clicking share here. So if we go back to file, we can click on File New. And you can basically click a document, document from template spreadsheet presentation form. Again, these are all other types of Google file types really that exist within Google Drive. And Docs is one of them. Now if I click on new document, it would open a new window with a new Google Doc. Again, I'm going to close that tab and go back to the one we were looking at it. Now if I click on File, I don't know I clicked 11, they're automatically by accident. If I click on File and open, that's the one I clicked on. It would say, what do you want to open it in Google Docs? Do you want to open a Google doc? Do you want to open them? They're shared with you something you've starred. Do you know this is the document I have and this is the lesson plan template. So I can go, right, I want to open the lesson plan template. It'll open a new tab with that lesson plan template. Okay, budgeting, going back, clicking this, clicking that I can open something within Google Docs that way. Now let's go file again, make a copy. What that does is it duplicates the existing Google Doc we have and puts it in your Google Docs list and just says test document copy. Okay, so if you need to create a copy or let's say if you have an invoice template that you use to send invoices or receipts. And you have a template. You could make a copy every time and fill in the specific details every time you need one. Now moving on here, we have e-mail. You can e-mail this file to somebody, download. This one is probably the best part of Google Docs. You're going to use this so much. You can download this Google Doc as so many file types, okay? If you have a colleague or even if you do or a friend or family member uses Microsoft Word, you can download this document as a Microsoft Word document. Okay, so it's crazy. It's it's a fantastic tool. So you go, Oh, I have this documents I created, but my friend needs the editors in Microsoft Word. This will take this document converted to a Google Doc, to a Microsoft Word document, and then they'll open it in Google, in Microsoft Word, sometimes 100% of the, what you've said might not know up correctly on Microsoft Word, but every time I've used that it's worked perfectly. So it's a very useful tool. There's another one called open document format, rich text format. You can download it as a PDF. So that is probably the most powerful way to do this. So I've just clicked download as PDF, and here it is. It's coming up in the bottom saying that downloaded. If I click on it, it'll open in a new tab and my document will appear as a PDF, right? And even the links work in the PDF segmented to BBC. So this is the most powerful way of using Google Docs. I do this all the time. I create a document and I download it as a PDF file. When you're doing that, you click File Download and you go to PDF. Okay? You can make this file available offline. So if I want to edit this file and I don't have an Internet connection, it'll kinda save it to your Chrome. Again, going back to why Chrome is important to use here. So you could open up Google Docs was disconnected from the Internet and Chrome and remember some files if you make them available offline. Version history. Version history is very cool, right? So what it does is it shows us all of the different versions of this document you've created all along from date to the specific changes. So you can actually access it here by C version history. So watch this. It says the 31st of August because that's when I've created this. And I can open up this arrow and it will go into every detail to change I've made along the way. I could click on an earlier version, see when nothing existed, when my headings and it just made my heading, I'm going up to the most recent changes. Then I edit the other heading, then I edit photos and move them around. See everything. Now let's go back. I can just click the back button. That's also available here. By the way, when you see last edit was nine minutes ago or edit saved, et cetera, like this. You can click on this and basically edit the version history from there also, it's very useful. Now file, Let's go down here again. You can rename the current document you're using, which is fantastic. It's great to use that as well. You can move the document, so you can move it to a different Google Drive folder. Again, checkup Google Drive, add shortcut to drive. You can move this to trash. And these ones you wouldn't ever really use, but we've even looked at them already. The print, the document details, and the language, all of that. Do you know this is just Sunday overview and document details. Okay. Cool. So looking at that rice, just that was a quick file overview. We're going to jump into some of these now in another video, I think it's going to break this up a little bit more. So I'll see you in the next video and I'll talk to you soon. 13. Edit & View: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to look at the edit and view menu items in the Google doc editor. So let's jump right in. So here we are on the same Google Doc as before. Now we covered the File menu. We're going to look at the Edit menu. Just like here on the screen, we have our undo and redo. In the Edit window. We also have undo and redo, and you can use them by doing control C and control. By. Now, you also have your copy, your car, your paste and Paste without formatting. So if I highlight this first lens of text here and then go Edit, I have the option to cut us and it's gone. I'm going to go here and click Undo and this back. Now it's highlighted for me. So if I click Edit and Copy, and then I go to the end of the document and I go Edit and Paste. I can paste that basically. Now it's telling me to install an extension. Now the thing is you don't really need that extension, right? Because if you can copy an area and hit Command V, You can paste that in which your keyboard, right, so I can highlight this and hit Command or Control C to copy. And then when you copied it, you can hit Command or Control V for Victor V to paste. Okay, so that's really useful. Now you can also Paste without formatting. So, you know, for example, I have formatting done here with 123. If I copy these guys and then paste in our formatting, Let's have a look at the shortcut here. Command plus Shift plus the v, Okay? So in Windows it would be control plus shift plus v. So if I hit Control Shift and V, it pastes it but removes all of the formatting. Now if I delete it and just hit Control and V for a regular paste, it paste the width, the formatting. So that's a very, very useful tool there. Okay? Now here in Edit also you have the option for Find and Replace. And you can also do that when you're on the document by hitting Command F or Control F and C here, you have the option to search in the document. So if I search for the word more, it shows me here at more highlighted. And then the three dots here, I have the option to find and replace so I can find the words more and replace them with more, with lots of them. And I can replace. And I just hit Replace and I go back and look, my words being replaced a more. Okay. So that's really, really handy there. All right, so I think that's pretty much the basic things in the Edit window. Let's look at the view. Here we have the print layout is enabled. If I disable the print layout, look how our pages a bought onto each other. Now the pages are turned into one continuous page. Now I'm going to put it back to the Print Layout. And that way we have her or pages differentiate a day or so we can see exactly what's on each page. Now we can also have view equals mode. We looked at that a minute ago, editing, suggesting and viewing. It's the same as the options we looked at in our last video over here, we have the show ruler. So notice how the ruler, the horizontal and vertical ruler showing our margins is now gone. Because if I click this again, it'll put a tick next to it and it will come up again. Now the show document outline is enabled. If I click that, it will hide the outline which is here on the left-hand side. We hit that earlier also, but I want to see that. So I'm going to click on it and show that again. We have some other options for viewing. And the big one really for us is full screen. So if I click full-screen, it's removed everything. And basically I get to look at the dock in full screen. And I can type the dock here without any formatting. Let's say I just don't want to worry about formatting. I just want to be a loose cannon. 14. Insert Options: Hey there and welcome back. So you might have noticed, I changed clothes and maybe the brightness is a little different or the camera is a little different. My camera died in the last video, and today is the next day now. So we'll just continue from here on out and you shouldn't notice the difference. I say if I didn't say anything, you might have noticed. But anyway, let's jump in. In this video, we're going to go over the Insert Functions and format functions in Google Docs. So let's jump right in. Okay, so here we are continuing from the same document as last time. So we're going to, we've covered the file, we've covered edit and view. So now let's look at insert. Okay. Now, the insert option on the menu here kinda covers a lot of things that we can insert into the document, you know, so like image table drawing and what we're basically going to go through a few of them. Now I'm going to scroll down to the second page in this document so we can insert some things and just see what happens and how it works out. Okay? So I have my cursor here under the image with some clear space. And I'm going to go Insert. Now here we have insert image, which we've already seen in another part of the toolbar. Okay, so we don't even have to go over that again. We've already covered this. The options are the same. The next one is inserted table, and it allows us to add rows and columns from the table we want. Now, I can go all the way up to 20 rows by 20 columns. You probably won't even need that much, but maybe if you do, you do. So for example, if I wanted to enter a table or insert a table with four columns and two rows. I could click on that and say if I wanted to insert a table with two columns and four rows, it would insert like this. And then you can fill in your details. You know, you could say title, and then you could hit the tab bar to go to the next one, the next box, and just go, I don't know, value. You could work it out like this. Or you could say, you know, choose a Wednesday, Thursday, whatever you're using, Dino Friday. And then you can fill your values beneath. Again, does a lot you can do, then you can drag these out. Do you know you can extend them, you can change their shape. You can hover over each of the horizontal and vertical lines and drag them along and do some really cool stuff there, you know, cool. And that's the same with both of these boxes as well. You can right-click on the table and it will give you some options here. For example, you can insert a row above the row you clicked on. So if I insert a row above, it inserts a new row. So I don't have to delete the box and start all over again. I can actually insert roles and insert columns by right-clicking on the table. Okay, so you can delete rows, three columns. You can do some really cool stuff here. Okay, so again, we have a lot of the same options as before. You can comment and create a hyperlink. But when we right-click on the table that you get some more options here depending on what you need. Okay, I'm just wanna touch and tables because we have a lot to get through in this video. So let me delete this table here. I'm going to right-click on the second one and I'm going to and delete. I think I'm going to right-click on the dinner want you can highlight this table like this and hit the back key. Now it's gone. Okay, and it's tied to this one up a bit. I'm going to right-click on the top row and delete row. Okay, so it looks something like this. I'm going to drag it up, make it nice and tidy, right? So let's go back to our Insert option. So we have image table and a drawling. So Google Drawings is another service okay, that you could add in. You could basically draw on a canvas manually with your mouse. Or if you had a kind of pain on a denoted as digital pads, you can do in here as well. So you can actually draw on this. And you can make shapes and you can make diagrams, et cetera, et cetera. And when you're finished with this, you know, I could insert a Save and Close and then I could come back here, insert drawing. And basically you inserted from Dr. so Google Drawings is something that we don't really touch on in this video. If you ever use Google Drawings, you can insert your Google Drawing here, basically, okay? Now this one you might use quite a lot, the chart function, okay, so there's different types of charts with a bar chart, column chart, line chart, and pie chart. So if I was just to click on pi, it will insert this image here. It'll insert a pie chart for me, but it'll already have some values and percentages, okay? And I mean, that's useful for us to get started, but we need to replace these values with what we want to show. You know, we might have only have three different values with different percentages. What we'll do then is basically hover over to the right-hand side of this pie chart. And you can click this down arrow and you can click on open source. Alright, so we're going to open the source from where the values are coming from. So the values here are set somewhere else. And this pie chart would update when we change dose. So the source, if I click on it, happens to be a new Google sheet that is put into your Google Drive account. Okay. So we have a Google sheet here with the values T1, T2, T3, and T4 with our value. So let's say if I change Team 1, 2, AG, and team four to 100, look at the bar charts artist, sorry that pie charts already changing and updating for me. If I go back to our test document, I can click Update on this pie chart and it'll fetched a new values. So some really cool stuff there you can do with that. You know, There's options here as well because technically this is sort of an image, but there's options up here where you could crop it. You can do some image options, you know, you can do some size and shaping. You could recolor, didn't know. I could put some re-coloring on the on the pie chart, just adjustments and stuff like that. And if you right-click on this, you also get some couple of options for the image as well. So the most important thing to remember about pie charts or any chart in the Insert Chart function is when you insert one, you have to set your value somewhere. Oh, my drawing did come in actually. Okay, there we go. I'm going to click Save and Close. I didn't even know that I popped in. So it's after popping in there. Very nice. I'm going to just delete it for now. And I'm going to, oh, I think I've deleted my pie chart. Do I'm going to go Insert Chart. And this time I'm gonna do a bar chart. It might go on to a new page because the image is quite big. Again, we can resize this image and it'll snap back to the other page. Okay? And look, we have team won would period 1, period 2, all of these different values. Again, I'm not gonna go too much into Google Sheets and how you can kind of use bar charts and stuff. That's something perhaps I might make Goog Google Sheets course very soon. Feel free to leave a comment if you think that'll be a good idea or feeling for review later, feel free to say, hey Kev, I would really like a Google Sheets on because I might do that quite soon. Again, we can click on the values and we can click Open Source and we can look at the source. So we can come in here, change the values, and this is automatically here. This is not going to disappear. If I go to my Google sheets, which is very similar to click on the icon, we should have all of the charts I've created listed here and we can rename those charts. The handy thing is you can always update a chart and it'll update your Google Doc later, Dino. So you don't have to keep inserting the new charity every time. Again, I don't wanna spend too much time on that. Okay. Because we have a few more things to go through, but that's a quick overview of inserting a chart into Google Docs, right? Let's go Insert. Scroll down. We have a horizontal line. Again. That's pretty much exactly what it is, just a horizontal line. Sometimes you might want to divide information by doing this. You can actually just insert a horizontal line just like that. Now, let's go Insert again. And we can do date, which is actually quite a new function. You can insert a date, okay? And you can go back and change that. Do you know there's some really cool stuff there. You can insert a footnote. So for example, this is going to automatically stick on the bottom of the page. And you could say, you know, the footnote, you can be like, according to this article, I once read, this is true. So if you've ever read very official documentation or studies, you might all books or anything, you might see a footnote on the bottom of the page. And what you can do is you can see this one here. I could type information. Do you know? And I have a footnote number one next to it. Are the footnote number one, seed a little footnote there. And it's automatically telling me to go down here. So I could highlight this box, Insert Footnote. It will insert a new footnote based on this box. So we see this box, you see this number 1 down here. It's changed our information to number 2. And it's updated here too because they have to be in order as to what's on the page. So very cool stuff. There were footnotes, very, very useful stuff. Let's go insert special characters. This is basically if you ever need a very unique character, Do you know, or a unique symbol or something like that, you'll find them here. There's lots of options, believe me, loads of options, Matte options, you know, like you might need something very specific. If you need on there, you can insert your symbol as well so you don't need to go copying and pasting on some other website. You can just get them directly there. Okay, let's go Insert again, we're almost there, guys, write headers and footers. So I want to insert a header. For example, this is something where you would definitely find this useful. If I hover over headers and footers and I click header, it's going to create a header for the page for me, okay? This is Page 2. Okay? Oh, we can actually do page numbers as well. Right. See, very cool stuff. So I can just say denote my report. 2021. And I want to make that may be in a heading into our heading one. And italics. Okay? That header will go on to every single page as a result. Okay, so it's very, very useful. A header is something that's consistent throughout all of your pages and kicks off the page. And when you edit one, you kinda have to edit them on. Okay? But notice how I double-click on the header and a warm after inserting my chart into the header. Oh, how did I do that? Let's click back. Okay, there we go. I think I might have dragged my chart onto the header by accident there. Let's go insert a footer. And you can do very much the same thing. This is the filter for my document. Notice Look, we have footer on every page. Footer, footer. This is my photo. So Header Footer can stays consistent. It links up and creates consistency tropes your document. Okay? So it's a very, very useful tool. You can do page numbers as well. You could do something where you have a cover page. So the first page doesn't have anything on it. And it starts on page 1. Notice how when I added an array, when I inserted page numbers, there's an option here, I like the second one. The cover page doesn't isn't counted at all. Everything including the headers. Then starts on page two, sort of second page of your doc is technically page one. It just makes it more official when you click on this, that way you can do anything you want with the front page and then page 1 begins with a real report. So this could just be a title page, for example. We're almost there page numbers. You can do a Page Break like we mentioned earlier. You know, let's say I'm down here and I want to start fresh from a new page. I could insert page break, and it would have dragged anything under where my cursor was with me, let's say I do. And I put my cursor underneath those special icons and I insert a page break. It'll start a fresh page for me. Okay. That's very useful. I could do another page break and it'll go straight to page 4 for me and it'll keep each page blank for me as I continue. It also keeps information from flowing onto the other the other ones, you know, right? Insert a link which we've done before. It's the exact same one that's here inserting link, right? We can add a bookmark. So let's say for example, this, I'm going to put on Page tree. I'm going to put new title. I can highlight this. Insert and click on bookmark, and this is now a bookmark. So it's very, very, very useful. Okay, that's very, very cool. So I can copy a link to this title. All right, so if I open, I finally click on this little bookmark symbol and click on the Copy link. And I open a new tab, and I right-click and paste the URL, the link that's copied, and I hit Enter. It will not only open the document, but it will pull me straight to the title. Okay. That's a very, very useful on there as well. I know I'm throwing a lot at this video, guys, but please do take your time and reverse back or rewind back if you need to have a double-check on things. Okay? So that's a very, very useful one there in case you needed to send someone to a specific part of a huge document, if you know what I mean. I'm after losing my tablets close to the tab here. And let's go insert. And the last one is table of contents. So you can actually insert a table of contents very usefully here, a preset table of contents. You can build yourself using the links like we've talked about before. But this kind of creates a table of contents based on what's in the document. For example, we have heading 101, which is our first page, my report, I find this useful, but I'm more of a kind of guy to manually make my table of contents because you have so much customization when it comes to creating titles and adding those and hyperlink windows to your link and subtitles. And sometimes this tank and drags everything in. It just makes everything. And you're going to have to write it according to what Google Docs ones. But you can customize your own table of contents as well. Now I'm just going to remove this, okay, by just basically highlighting on this title here and just go back, backline. Well, maybe jump outside of the back button again, Ali, where's it gone? There we go. So you need to highlight around this sometimes. Okay, cool. That is the entire insert window. I didn't have time to go over format. We'll have a look at format and tools in the next video. I want, I don't want to make this too long. So I hope you found that useful. Please let me know if you've any questions in regards to those in the Discussions tab on this course. And I look forward to seeing you in the next video. So thanks a million. 15. Formatting Options: Hey there and welcome back to the next video in this course. So in this video we're going to look at the Google formatting and tools options in the menu bar on the editor window. So let's jump right in. Okay, so we're just going to continue from where we left off on the last video. We're still on the same document. Okay. It's becoming quite crazy. Look and mess this video, but this document, hopefully the videos. Okay, but anyway, let's jump around and continue on. So we've covered file, edit, view and insert. Now we're going to have a quick look of format. You're going to notice that a lot of these repeat, okay? So for example, on this new page, if we go to Format, you have the options for the text formatting here. We have bold, italic underline, which we already have here, but we have a couple of more ones. So let's go to the top of this document and use these sentences here as experiments. So if we go to Format, you'll see there's an option for strike, strike through. That's a tough one for me. Sometimes my earlier shacks and strike through. Okay. So it puts a line through the text. And the shortcut for me on Mac is Command Shift and x or crossover, I mean on, on windows as probably Control Shift and x. Okay, So if only highlight this sentence here, go to Format and then go text and strike true. It'll put a line through my text, which is very useful. Let's say you wanted to send on a document and kind of write off some sections or please ignore the sections for now, but you didn't want to delete them. You could do this. Now I'm going to hit Command Z to do an undo or Control and Z on Windows. And it'll undo that. And the shortcut would be Command Shift and x or on Windows it would be Control Shift and x. And if I hit those altogether, I can actually do it without even clicking on the format option. Okay, So it makes it really quick. Okay, cool. So let's go back to format text. We have some other ones here, superscript, subscript. So like if you wanted to write formulas or you wanted to write like indicators on the side of your text. What are the top or bottom you could do so here, size, you can increase font size, decrease font size, and you can do lowercase, uppercase, or title case. So if I wanted to make all of this text here in capital letters without retyping it, I can highlight it. Go to format text capitalisation and do uppercase, and it'll change the entire sentence to uppercase. For me, I can go back, go text, capitalisation, lowercase, everything is in lowercase. And then I could go back format text capitalisation and just called title case. So it'll title the first letter of every word. Okay. So that's some cool stuff varies. What's the view? Have pages upon pages to change and edit. Okay, cool. So let's go to format again. And that's some cool text ones. We've got some paragraph styles okay? That you can apply, which we've already really looked at before. And you can reset some of the default styles or you can use and setup your own default styles here. A line and indent. We've done that here. Denote left, align, center align, right align, justified. We've done those here. They're up here in this section two, there, just repeated line and paragraph spacing. We've looked at this before. Okay, it's the same options as over here. And which one is it? This one? Let's go back to Format columns. Oh, sorry, I'm format I mean, yeah, I mean, formats are who got mixed up columns. You can actually, at the moment, our entire document is working with a one column system. So when we write, we write from the left to the right of the page within their margins, we can actually set up two columns. So now you right along the left one and then it starts on the right one again, this is very useful for like, you know, like a newspaper article sort of thing. So notice how if I was to highlight this, it doesn't highlight the page. It'll highlight the left first and then the rice. So that could be useful if you want to divide your document up. Now I'm going to go back, go to Format, and go back to a single column for now, you can also do three columns. So if you wanted to do super small texts or like a newspaper article or a newsletter, this is a very useful tool. Now I'm going to go Format columns and go on one. Now, if I click on Format Bullets and Numbering, again, we have the very same options we've seen before. Up here, just again, in a different layout. Headers and footers. We have the option to format or headers and footers. So you can, you can say right, we created a header in the last video, and currently it's 0.5 inches from the top. Now inches is used in the UK and US and couple of other countries. So you might be used to centimeters, but it's working with inches at the moment because of the size, the A4 sheet of paper. And it's the US style as well. So you can get a calculator to convert inches to centimeters and you can work out how far you want your margins going down or your, your header and footer margins, okay? And you can just click Apply or cancel. Now, if I go to format page numbers again, page orientation, this is a big one. You can actually do landscape for the whole document. You know, you can do portrait or landscape currently we're doing a portrait. But if I change it to landscape, now our sheet is in a landscape like alongside and short when we're going down. And so you can kinda see what's happening here. It's like if we print out the sheet of paper and turn to. So that might be very useful for you as well depending on your application of using us. Some people would create a landscape dot like this. You know, you can create a new page and you could create, you could go Format columns, two columns. And you can create denotes something on the left. And then something on the right-hand side. You know, I'm just writing it as a text here. And then when they printed they can fold it over, which is really kinda cool. So you might need to use that sometimes too. But I'm going to go back and just change page orientation back to portrait. And I'm going to go back to Format and change or columns by 21. Okay? So looking at format again, we don't really have much left. Again, we had some table options. If we had a table or if we click on a table, then you can go to Format and table options appear, which we've seen when we right-click the page, the table saying Would image. If I highlight this image and then go format, the image options appear and you can do things like cropping the image, replacing the image and another image. And then at the very bottom here we have borders and lines. So we could create a border width of 12 pixels. And that way, Look at the border on this image is after getting really thick, you can go back and format and go Border weight of one. Now has a one pixel black line surrounding it. So cool, different options here and there. Okay, I'm going to cut this video short and I'm going to create another video for the Tools Options. And then we're almost there. We don't have much more to go. We're rocking it from here on. So I hope you enjoyed this video and I look forward to seeing you in the next video where we look over the Google Docs Tools Options. So I'll see you then. 16. Tools, Add-Ons, Help: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to go over the tools option in Google Docs. So let's jump right in. So here we are undocumented. We've been working on for this course. Nothing new or different here, I'm gonna go back to the first page, and I'm going to go to the Tools option here up near the menu. Now, the Tools option, it sorts. So it's only gives us all these cool things that Google Docs can do for us. And there's some really cool stuff here that you might never use and some stuff you might be interested in trying out. So let's, let's just go through them and see what's going on here. So for example, if we go to tools, the first one we see spelling and grammar. Here, we can have a look and see what kind of spelling check is allowed. If I make a spelling mistake, it'll show me suggestions or show me grammar suggestions, all that kinda stuff. I can disable that if I just want to write as I go. So for example, this red squiggly line I have here, it suggests than me something else. Do you know? I can turn that off here and disable that, but I really like that to be honest. Word count is another one. If I click on this, it'll give me the current page number. How many words are on my document, how many characters and how many characters do you know excluding spaces. And I can actually turn to sound to display the WorldCat word countable and typing. So now down here in the bottom left I can see my total word count. So if you have a, I don't know, an assignment with 5000 words that you need written. This is a very good indicator here to see your progress, you know? So let's go back to tools and have a look here. We can see Review suggested edits. Again, this is talking about the sharing options we talked about before. When you share the document with somebody and they have access to it. They can leave edit so they can give suggestions by highlighting bits of text, right-clicking, suggest edits. Or they can hover over this little green box here and click and say, my tink we sued should, should maybe do something else. So let me highlight this text and click the back button. Look at this. It's thinking I should get rid of all of this. And then basically Kevin is saying, we should delete, et cetera, whatever I highlighted and then go, I think this should be deleted. Okay. We can do that kinda stuff, right? And then I can go back from suggesting to editing, right? And I can continue working on this. Keep writing, but that kinda suggestion is in the way. So it's not something you'd really do unless you had a draft written. And then you wanted to send it to somebody and work off of the edits or to suggestions. Now, I'm going to hover over this bubble here and click the X. I'm going to reject the suggestion for now. Let's go back tools. We can compare documents. So you can actually compare this document with another document in your Google Drive. You might not need to do that for now. So let me click on lesson plan, and let's click on the Open other one and compare them and see what happens now that's going to compare this document to the document that we created with the template earlier. And it's simply going to say what one has and what one doesn't have. So I don't know why this is useful exactly. Maybe this might be useful for a specific reason if you're comparing, maybe to see how someone did compare it to something else, or maybe you're going to compare and see if some big block of text is the same. If someone copied something, I don't know. I'm going to close this tab for now. Now let's go back to Tools and go down here to citations. You could add citations here, okay, which is very useful. You can add a citation source, whether it's a book, a website, film. And you can say right, I access, I access that by print website. And you can type in your citation here, which is very, very useful as well. Okay, I'm going to click X on that. Let's go back to, so we have the Explore option and this is something I looked at a previous video in my tips and tricks course with Google Drive. The Explore option is something that's very, very useful. Basically, you can search either anything in your Google Docs or to web. So I can search for Ginger cats. And it will search the web for what I want. Rather than opening a new tab. It will search Google Images, and it will actually search my own Google Drive. Okay. So if there's something that I said, I knew I had a document about Ginger cats for some reason I needed to make and non-experimental God. I needed to write an essay or something about the exploration of ginger cats and how they've taken over the world. Then I can search here and maybe something in my Google Drive might match it, or something like online might come up, which is useful. Now I'm going to click X here and goes that. Let's go back to tools. The next biggest one here really would be the Translate Document one. Okay, So I can translate this entire document into another language. So let's say Arabic. And I can create basically dinner, I could say translated copy. Or Arabic translated copy of test document. It'll actually create a new document for me in my Google Docs and take all the text and try and translate it into another language for me, it might be correct. Am I not be correct? Okay. I can't tell if this is correct or not because I don't speak Arabic. But you could find this very useful. For example, let's go back and let's say tools, translate document. Let's go Spanish. So if we go all the way down to the S's, we have Spanish here. And let's click Translate. This will create a document for me. It'll take all of the texts I wrote and put it into Spanish on a new document for me. So this can be very, very useful if you have to translate huge amounts of texts with hundreds of pages and you don't want to retype everything, but you want to translate it and maybe give a quick read and just see right. What's correct, what's not correct. Or la sta is me 3-mer document though. I haven't I can't I'm sorry. I'm really sorry if I got that wrong. Okay. Cool. Right. I'm going to close that tab and go back to our original document. Let's click on Tools. And this one, this one, I think I'm just going to finish up this video with. This one is a very useful too, okay? If it's the voice typing tool. So I'm going to click on this. It's going to have a microphone option here. I'm going to click on the microphone option. It's gonna say, hey, Chrome Dino can Chrome can kinda use a microphone. I'm going to click allow. And I'm going to start talking. And for some reason it taught I said the word cloud but I didn't full stop. So comma, this is how voice typing works in Google Docs. And I think it's really cool and full stop. So and then we go over to the microphone and hit Stop, started recording some students self, there is a little tip, you can say period and new line, which is very cool. So it pretty much picked up almost what I had. Hello, and I'm going to start talking for some reason. It's taught I said the word cloud but I didn't. So this is how voice typing works in Google Docs and I think it's cool and maybe this is how you guys hear me. Is my accent too strong? I hope it's not too bad for you guys to hear. But this is a very useful if you needed to write out your thoughts, your memoirs, and you're starting your book, you know, you could spill it all out, true voice and come back and type it up and fix it later by just fixing all the grammar and stuff like that, you know. So I think this is an amazing tool. I've used it a couple of times for notes and stuff. So I think it's fantastic. Let's go back to tools. And I think after that we're pretty rock and there's an accessibility settings here you might find useful. You can turn on screen reader support. You can turn on magnifier support. Some really cool stuff there as well, okay. That you might find useful. I'm not sure if it works in the docs version here, but it might work in more. So when you're using tablets and stuff like that. Okay, Cool. That is this video on tools. We're going to have a quick look at add-ons and help actually didn't want. Let's look at it now. Let's look at it now while we're here, did I noticed video is going on with it, but we're here. Add-ons. You can add on things to Google Docs by clicking Get add-ons. Basically, these are third party services. Kind of effect. Your Google doc does lots of stuff here. I would just didn't. None of these are technically officially Google made. They're made by people like me or anybody else that says, God, I wish Google Docs could do a certain thing. I'm going to make a tool that plugs in to Google Docs and does that thing for me. So there's loads here. You might find this a lot more useful. So like for example, this one, easy accents. Do you know maybe this helps Google Docs work with the accents when you're writing in a different language a bit better. There's cool ones here. Just play with them, come in here, go to Add-ons and just play with them. And then at the end of the day, delete your Google doc if you don't need them anymore. I think they're really cool. Okay, have a look and see what's there. I'm not gonna give any recommendations because I don't really think I need it. I never needed any of them personally. I think everything here is just fine for what I need. If we look at the help option, basically you can search. So for some resources, you can click on docs help. And it will actually open a window where there's some Dino Google Docs assistance here. Like if you wanted to download a file, which we've looked at, the data type would your voice, which we've looked at how to use Google Docs? Well, hopefully this whole video would help you with that. It isn't a form. A form is generally not a Google Doc thing. It's a Google forum thing. Inserting and arranging texts, shapes and diagrams and lines. We've done that with our charts and stuff. So again, if there's something that you feel you could look into and want to read into more. This is very helpful, right? You can actually search and you can say, I can search underlying, you know, and it will come up with documents that talk about underlines and then Google, Google Docs. And it helps enters and I can browse all the articles and there's discussions and stuff like that. Okay. I'm going to close that anestrus. Really helpful. And then we have the accessibility here, which you might find cool to definitely worth checking out. All of the shortcuts.com would each of the options here. So that's kind of helpful there as well. Right? I think we're rockin pretty much. The next video, I'm really going to have a quick look back on some of the things we've really done already. I was planning on doing a short video on sharing the document, but we've kind of covered that and maybe diversion history as well. But we'll do that anyway. Just a quick one or two-minute video and the next one. And then we'll wrap up the course and we are rockin. So thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you in the next video. 17. Version History & Revisions: Hey there and welcome back. So in this video we're going to have a quick look at just things like Version History, revisions, sharing. And basically I think we're almost there then. So let's jump right in. So this is a very short video. I'm going to make this one quick. I'm gonna touch on things we've already talked about. For example, let's look at version history. The best way to look at version history is always hover over to this little link here that says Dino for example. It says last edit was seven minutes go. It could say last edit was last week or seven days ago, but it's always highlighted. So if you click on this, it will open up the version history tab. Open the left, we can actually print out what we have. We can zoom in and out to a kind of have an easier look. And on the right-hand side, we can have a look at different versions that were made on different days, as well as specific versions are specific edits of each of those days. So if I click on the down arrow, it collapses out all of the major individual edits made on the document in that day. So if I go back to earlier this morning and I click on a couple of hours ago or about an hour ago, we're going to be missing some things like the drawing for example, but we don't have, some of the charts aren't here and some of the translated text isn't here. So for example, basically, we can go back and close off that there again. If all I wanted to go back to the very first version of today's document. I could click on all the way down to the bottom. And I could go to more actions. And I can actually give this a name. I can copy this instance, and I can restore it as version which you see up here in the top-left as well. So today the documents was like this, a Taino 4M and I can click Restore. And it says your current document, it will revert to the version from today at 1004. If I click Restore, the document is back to where it was earlier. Okay, So if I just want you to go all the way back and undo loads of stuff and just said no, that can't. I made a big mistake. I need to go all the way back. I can do this. Now if we go back into reversion history, look at this, were current or current version is restored from 100, 4M. Now I can go down here to the 10 45 AM version and restore this back by clicking restore. So just because you restore back to a previous version doesn't mean that the most recent one is gone for good. It's still there. You can hop back and forth between them if you need to. So it's very, very, very cool feature. Now just looking at sharing. So we've talked about sharing. Basically, I go over sharing a lot more and my Google Drive course, which I find it will make a lot more sense when it comes to Docs Sheets. Collaboration, there's a lot more of a collaboration on that. But if I click on the Share button up here, I have the option to share with some friends. So for example, if I just go denote the blow at gmail.com, if this was a real e-mail address, I could share what I hope it's on a really minute address. I could share the document with this and click Done. When I go back to share, I don't think it actually accept it. It's not a real address, so that's why it didn't accept that. I don't want to share this with anybody else by accident, but there's a gear icon here that we can actually change the settings. I can say people I shared it, which can change permissions and share. So if I give Bob access, he can actually give someone else access. I can undo that. And a viewer, viewers and commentators can see the option to download, print and copy. I can undo dots as well. So they'll just see the document almost, you know. Now if I click on the back button, this is a very cool option down here, the Get Link option. So you can click Copy link. Basically, I can use the link to open this document. So the setting currently is only people added can open this link. So if you are not added here, you can't open that link. I can click this button here, change to anyone with the link. So and there are set as a viewer, they can't edit, they can only view. So this URL, if I click Copy and I open a new incognito window, the private window. So I'm not signed in. And I paste the URL into the URL bar and hit Enter. Oh wait, I am signed in. Just one moment. Let me try another way to do this. Let me go tab new tab. New window. Okay. So this one is not, I'm not signed in with that order address. Let me paste in the URL here. I've signed in, it might say k, but I'm actually signed in with a different account. Okay. It's a different k account. Look, I can't editors, where's my toolbar? It's not there. I can view the document which is useful. I can see someone else is viewing it. I can request to edit, but I can't actually make changes. So it's very, very, very cool. Okay? So this is very useful if you needed to just share the document with somebody and to read us. So you don't want everyone editing and destroying your precious document. So I'm just going to pick x here and go back. So this is very useful, okay, get links. So you might find that if you share the URL with someone and they say, I can't access your document. Make sure to always go to the Share icon and make sure that this is set to anyone on the internet with this link can view us. Okay? And you can actually change viewer to commenter and editor. So you can actually say anyone with link can also edit too. Okay, now I think they might need Chrome anyway. Very useful, right? I'm going to stop right there. Have fun with that. And thank you very much. So I hope you found that very useful and I'll talk to you again soon in the next video. 18. Conclusion & Thanks!: Hey there. So basically this is it. Thank you so much. That's my course on getting started with Google Docs. This course was primarily set out as a beginner course. I might have touched into little things that you might not need to know or maybe you probably would have hoped, God, I wish Kevin could've covered some other topics or maybe how to do something. If you think that's the case, I would really appreciate if you left a review on this course about how you think of it. Dino and also maybe, oh, maybe Kevin could have done maybe a little bit more. I just really hope that this really has gotten you into the right place with Google Docs. So let's say if you knew it before but didn't know some functions or this is a brand new tool tube. I really hope you're in a better place now to work around the program and feel a bit more confident using us. So I guess all I have to say now is thank you so much. Feel free to check out any of my other courses if you enjoyed this one. I've got several on Google Calendar, google Drive, Gmail, and lots of other Google tools that you may find useful. Also, if you're using this, because you will find the old kind of joined together in lots of different ways. And, and wherever you are in the world. Thank you so much for checking this out and all the best. And I look forward to seeing you soon, and I hope I see you again in one of my other courses. So, ciao, bye for now.
