Google Docs Fundamentals Page Setup Google Docs still assumes you will one day choose to print this document. To that end, it uses standard page preferences when new documents are created. Click on file and select page setup The page is automatically setup for 8.5” by 11”. The margins are set to one inch all the way around. If you don’t plan to print this document, we can add some real-estate for our content. Default Page Setup We can change the page size and margins for all future documents. Click on File and select page setup. In my example I’ll keep the standard letter size but adjust the margins. I like to have a larger margin at the bottom of the page for footers. Students will place their citations in the footer. I’ll leave three quarter inches at the bottom and half an inch on the other sides. To set this as my default for future documents, I’ll click the ‘set as default’ button. Once the default is set, click the OK button. The changes will be applied to this document and all future documents. In my example I’ll change the top and bottom margins to a quarter inch. I’m doing this because I don’t want to disturb the placement of my images along the left and right margins. In the previous lesson we had difficulty with the table going across pages. Our solution was to force the table onto another page. We can avoid this by adjusting the top and bottom margins. With the margins adjusted I’ll click the OK button. 29 Digital Maestro
Google Docs Fundamentals Share and Collaborate A very powerful feature of using cloud services like Google Docs is the ability to share and collaborate on documents. This is becoming more common place as the Internet is available to more people. Students can share their documents with teachers or other students. Sharing a document with the teacher is one way to submit a finished assignment. Sharing documents with other students is a way for students to collaborate. Sharing documents is very easy. A share button is available within the document while you are editing. It is part of the menu options. The share button is located on the far right. Let’s click the share button. To the right of the email field is a pull down menu with the can edit option automatically selected. This means that the recipient will be able to make changes to the document. If we don’t want the recipient to make changes, we can select the can view option. This means that the recipient will be able to see the document but cannot make any changes. The pull down menu also provides a ‘can comment’ option. This option can be used for collaboration if you don’t want to give the other person edit rights but you want feedback. You will be prompted to provide the email address of the recipient. The email address should be another gmail account so the recipient can view the document or edit as needed. Digital Maestro 30
