AND

 

TRICKS

Your Chromebook is a new type of computer that works somewhat 
differently than what you may be used to, so you might like to know 
how easy and useful things are when using it. Here are some tips and 
tricks.

Documents

How to create documents

1. Press the 

Search

 

 key on your keyboard or select the 

Launcher

icon.

2. Click 

 to select 

All Apps

 (or type "Google Docs", "Google 

Sheets", or "Google Slides" depending on the type of document you 
want to create) Create word processing files with 

Google Docs

spreadsheets with 

Google Sheets

, and presentations with 

Google 

Slides

.

3. Select 

Google Docs

 , 

Google Sheets

 , 

or 

Google Slides

.

 

That’s it. You’ve just created a new document in a few seconds. 
With your new document, you can add text, insert images, change 
the font, make it bold, underline it, italicize it – you get the gist. Most 
of the formatting and other stuff you might be familiar with from other 
productivity suites like Microsoft Office you can do with Google 
Docs.

Note

For an alternative method of creating documents,
