With Google Docs, you can create online documents (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms), share such documents with colleagues, and collaborate on projects from wherever you are. You can also access these documents and edit them easily from its website and your mobile device.

Editing Google Doc on the Website

  1. Log into Google Drive. Google documents are stored on Google Drive, so it’s where you will be able to access them. Open a new web tab or window, visit drive.google.com, and log in using your Google email address and password. Click “Sign in” to proceed.
  2. Select the document to edit. A list of all documents saved on your Google Drive will be displayed in the middle section of the page. Scroll through the list and double-click on the document to open it.
    • Alternatively, you can search for the document instead of scrolling through the list. Use the search box found at the top of the page. Type the name of the document and click the blue “Search” button in front of the box. Your document will then be returned. Double-click on it to open it.
    • If you want to upload a document not created in Google Doc (for example, a MS Word doc), just upload it to Google Drive. Once uploaded, right-click on the document and open as “Google Document.”
  3. Start editing. Place your cursor to the point where you want to make edits, and then make the changes. Proceed to the next section on “Editing the Document” for details on what you can edit in Google Docs. On a Google Doc, you can do a lot of editing, including adding new content, deleting some information, changing font type/size, inserting image, spacing and even adding paragraphs to your document.

Editing Google Docs on Your Mobile Device

  1. Launch Google Docs App. Go to the apps menu of your mobile device and tap the Google Docs icon to open the app. If you do not have the app installed on your phone, visit your respective store and download the app for free.
  2. Select the document to edit. When the app is started, it directs you to the screen having all your Google documents. Scroll through the list, and tap the document you want to open. The document will expand and open up.
  3. Tap the “Editing” button at the bottom of the document. This button is represented by a pencil icon. Tap this button to edit the document. When you tap it, the keypad of your mobile device pops up, allowing you to make changes.
  4. Start editing the document. Tap the point where you want to make the changes and edit your document appropriately. There are many editing tools you can use, which have been outlined further in the next section. The changes you make are saved automatically. When done, tap the back button of your device to go back to your Google Docs home screen.

Tips

  • One great thing about Google docs is that you do not have to hit the save button (it is not even there). The changes you make are saved automatically. When done close the document and your changes shall be captured.
