Well, youÕve got that nice new Chromebook, or maybe youÕve decided to fire up the browser on your PC/Mac and start Òliving in the cloud.Ó Now what?
In the previous book, ÒGoing Chromebook: Living in the Cloud,Ó we talked about what you can and canÕt do with a Chromebook, and what apps you can use to get work done in a web-app world. This time out, weÕll be focusing on ONE app: The Google Docs word processor.
ItÕs the flagship of GoogleÕs office suite, whether youÕre on the free Google Docs system or the paid Suite tier. It works on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, IOS, and just about anything else that can run a modern browser. ItÕs also probably a lot different from the word processors youÕve used in the past. Just like everything else involved with working from the cloud, youÕll have to adapt and learn a few new ways of doing things; thereÕs nothing hard or complex here, just a lot of things done differently.
In this book, weÕll look at some basic file management on Google Drive that pertains to writing documents, and then weÕll look at every menu option and toolbar icon. Lastly, weÕll look at power user tips that will make you truly a master of Google Docs.
