Creating Documents
For the purposes of these instructions, we will be creating a Google Docs, though the instructions can be applied to Google Sheets, Google Slides, and more.
Google Docs is like Microsoft Word, Google Sheets is like Microsoft Excel, and Google Slides like Microsoft Powerpoint. The options under the "More" menu selection has many things that Microsoft Office does not offer.
Step 1
Navigate to https://drive.google.com
Click on the "New" button near the top left of the page
Click on the type of document that you want to create.
This will create that document in whatever folder you have open in Google Drive, which you can verify by looking to the right of the "New" button.
Step 2
After clicking on "New", a new tab will open in your web browser for the new type of document created
Clicking on the "Untitled document" near the top left will allow you to change the name of the document
Changes to the document are saved automatically, which is shown by the "All changes saved in Drive" near the top center of the page
After creating you documents, go to the "Managing Documents" section to learn how to upload documents from your computer and share those documents and ones you have created in Google Drive.
