I have covereda few Google Docs tipsbefore, but now I have a few more to share.
Write in Markdown in Google Docs
Google Docs supports some of the Markdown syntax.
To enable it, go toTools > Preferences >Automatically detect Markdown.
But do remember: Google Docs supports a limited subset of Markdown syntax, not all of it.
They can also help you take precise notes as you might connect them to the line numbers.
But note that line numbers work only in the Pages format and not in the Pageless view.
Enable them by going toTools > Line numbers.
In the line numbers sidebar, selectShow line numbers.
Adding alt text to your images helps people using screen readers understand what the image depicts.
To add alt text, right-hit an image and selectAlt Text.
In theImage optionssidebar, describe the image in short.
Go toTools > Translate document.
Remember, it’s possible for you to alsouse Google Sheets to translate languages.
When the receiver opens the document to edit it, it will be their own copy.
Email it directly from Google Docs to the receiver’s inbox as an embedded document.
This makes sharing documents easier and cuts down the number of attachments everyone has to trawl through.
Go toFile > Email > Email this file.
Write a message in the field provided.
Then, grab the checkbox forDon’t attach.
Include content in the email.
Capture fleeting ideas as notes or lists.
In a Google Doc, insert an email building block fromInsert > Building blocks > Email draft.
Alternatively, pop in “@email” in the doc and press Enter.
you could also go toFile > Email draft.
Write the email and fill out the fields.
Then, click Preview in Gmail at the top left of the draft.
When you’re done, hitSend.
The trove of features and tips doesn’t end here.
