Basic Editing

The basic editor for Google Docs looks like a simplified version of other word processors. To get started:

  • Log into Google Sites at: http://gmail.com using your district email [login-name@flaschools.org] and password.

  • Up near the top of the window, look for a link labeled "Documents" and click on it.

  • Down and to the left, you will see a button labeled "New". Click on this button, and select "document" from the list.

  • You can begin editing your document. Notice the "Save" button in the upper right of the screen, for saving your work. Also notice that your document's name (which begins as "untitled document" can be changed to whatever you like. Use of detailed, descriptive labels is highly recommended.
