1.4 Creating and Sharing Folders in Google Drive

4. Creating a Document

Once you have your folder you are ready to create a document within that folder. This is not required in this course, but we would like you learn how to create your own documents in Drive as this skill will come in handy when working with Google Drive. Make sure you are in your folder first. (click on the folder) 

Next, go to Create and this time click on Document. The document will open and you will see familiar word processing tools such as File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, Help. You can also change your font, font size, color, bold, italicize, etc.

Make sure to name your document by mousing over the words Untitled Document in the upper left-hand corner and replacing it with a name for your document. As you begin typing in your document, it automatically saves!
