You can create a:\u003Cbr>• Document (like a word document)\u003Cbr>• Presentation (like a powerpoint presentation)\u003Cbr>• Spreadsheets (like an excel document)\u003Cbr>• Form (for people to fill in information and send to you)\u003Cbr>• Folder (to help you organize your documents)\u003Cbr>• From TEMPLATE\u003Cbr>Google Docs editing tools resemble “Microsoft Office’s”editing tools so there’s really no need to explain how to edit the documents themselves in this tutorial. |  | |\n\n\n| After you’re done editing, you MUST SAVE the document.

You can use Google Docs to open these files anywhere and share them with anyone. | |\n| Created or Uploaded documents will appear in the “All Items or Owned by Me ” window in Google Docs.
