loved your content, can you please tell me how i can create my own template in google docs , thank you so much man.

[@Sumit-xy5cv]

Hello sir😀

[@myrafrench4321]

I really want to acquire these skills- to thoroughly understand and use Google docs. I quickly became lost in your video. If this is for beginners, I need the dummies' version- or maybe-one for total idiots. I'm already lost at "create a document or folder, and decide where to put it..."

I am not a fan of tutorials as they either move too quickly or bore me. This guy has the perfect blend of showing and explaining so I get it and I was never bored. Bravo and thank you! I will check out your other features!

My favorite feature in docs is voice typing and explore button with citation. Docs are great! I would like that we can use different page setup for slides, not just have to use the one we choose for the whole deck.

[@thesehandsart]

This was fantastic. Thank you for communicating so much useful information in such a concise way while also demonstrating the real world application. It sounds obvious that this is what should and would be done to teach, but it often is not. Thank you, I will be saving this as my reference!

WOW!! Sethi! Top job in showing off the features and possibilities of Google Docs. Your video was very well put together with your post processing making things easier to understand. I, like you, use Docs every day, but I learned a few new things while watching, so thank you. Won't it be great when we can choose between portrait and landscape in a single document. This has been a bug-bear of mine for years now... Terrific Sethi!

[@TrevorSomers]

Hello, you were asking what people thought Goggle docs is missing? Well I have one. How do you change the Google Docs default font and size so that when you open Google Docs it is set with your font and size, so you don't have to set it up all the time when you start a new docs file. That is one feature that I miss about Office that I wish Google docs had in its system. You do great videos. Keep it up!

[@trclarkualraccount6923]

I think you can accomplish this by using the style settings. Near the top you should see a drop-down that says "normal text" and it has a predefined font. Type something in the font and size that you want, highlight it then using the drop-down from normal text you will see an arrow, click the arrow and select the "UPDATE TO MATCH" option (not apply). This should set the default normal fault to the style you have selected.

[@TrevorSomers]

[@FlippedClassroomTutorials]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Google Docs does not have a separate thesaurus but does have a dictionary with built-in synonyms that can be used. To acces this you would first select the word, then click on tools, dictionary. You can also use the shortcut. Ctr+Shift+Y
