For Beginners: 3 Getting Started Guides

Posted on 06:11 by Unknown
My friend Chrystina is an Operations Coordinator at a small software company in Sunnyvale, CA. A few days ago, she told me that she just started using Google Docs. As a beginner, she was trying to figure out how to collaborate with her coworkers and access her docs from both home and work. She's very busy, so she asked me if we had some guides that would give her the basics of how to get started using Google Docs.

The timing of our conversation couldn't have been more perfect. We recently finished Getting Started Guides for spreadsheets, documents, and presentations -- because using a product for the first time can sometimes be challenging.

These three guides cover the basics about Google Docs and have tidbits of information on features you may not know too much about. If you already use Google Docs spreadsheets, but aren't so familiar with presentations, you can read this guide to learn, for example, how to embed an online presentation in your blog.

Don't forget to send these links along to your family, friends, and coworkers who may want to get started with Google Docs.

After you're finished reviewing the guides, check our Help Center for more information. And if you have questions or want to share your suggestions and comments, visit our Help Forum.
