before we start discussing various features of Google Docs I will walk you
through the Google Docs user interface on the very left hand side at the top
you have this blue icon which will take you to the dogs home page on which you
have all your documents then you have the ability to rename your document in
this area as we have done already then you can start this document by putting a
star you will be able to find this document easily in your Google Drive
then you can move the document to any other folder by clicking on this folder
icon on the right hand side you have this comment you can share this document
by pressing on the share icon and by sending a link or by sending an email to
someone who is your collaborator or your team member this is the icon for
telling you which Google account is associated with this Google Docs then
this arrow you can use to hide these min Y terms if you click on this arrow all
your menu items are now gone you can do this to get some more space if you want
and know just bring it back then if you click on this triangle little triangle
you will see these three options so editing means that you are editing your
document or someone else's document you can also suggest by putting something in
other document and that will be shown in in a separate color so this we will talk
about all these features later on are you are just in a viewing mode now this
is the file menu and in this meaning you have all the actions related to a file
you can share a file you can open a new file or you can download this file or
you can also email this file to collaborators because this is a new
account and I have not shared anything so this collaborator icon is not
highlighted once you have shared something you will see this icon will be
highlighted and you can email the file from here then there have there are
language options page setup and all these things we will be
discussing later on in the edit you have some editing options undo/redo are
pasted in view you you have the options how the document looks on the screen for
example there is a ruler on the left hand side you can remove this ruler if
you want and there are some section breaks and other options available in
the insert menu you can insert image from various places from google drive
from for tour by from a URL you can insert a table which we will do later on
you can insert a drawing similarly you can also insert some special characters
Greek letters some mathematical equations header and page numbers you
can also link and this type of options are available in insert in the format
tab you can do the text formatting there are a lot of options bold italics align
indenting line spacing columns all these options are available in format there in
told staff there are few very useful tools available to you for example
spelling and grammar checking word count if you are making for example a proposal
where there is a word count limit you can do that you can also have this
dictionary and a very useful voice typing tool here available I use this
tool to get the transcript of my videos so it is a very useful tool we will be
discussing this later on then in ads on you can use a third-party add-on and
that will appear in this section then below this menu you have all these quick
access icons and what are these these are just taken from these menus for
example this is undo this is redo print spell checking and all these for example
these are some formatting icons you can quickly access bold instead of going to
format and then text and then bold you can quickly access bold from here so
these are some quick access options you can left align Center align or you can
increase the line spacing or you can indent your document so all these
options are available in this quick access toolbar and we will be discussing
all this later on so this was a quick tour
for Google Docs user interface and now we will start building our documents
