Google Docs
Google Docs is Google’s online document program. It's free, and all it requires is a Google account. Because the document is online, it doesn’t take up any space on your computer. Google Docs are saved automatically to your Google Drive account. If you want to work on your paper in a different program later on, click on the File tab, choose Download As, and choose the appropriate file type.
Naming your Document
To give your paper a file name, click on the words Untitled document located at the top of the page, and type in the name of your paper.
Font Settings
Font settings are located in the Font section of the Home Tab. When choosing your font, each name is written in that font, so you know what it looks like. Your font size is located right next to it. Most professors state that you must use size 12.
Paragraph Settings
Next to the font section is the Paragraph section.
