You’ll see small red dots, showing you the points on the shape that you can connect to. Release your mouse when you’re hovering over a point, to connect the line to that point.<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Bb-_ZjOpoVVKjWtaHjqhncEg1th4jAB0MluJNvcAxo85Gobp62QYbNnlUjn8f9MvYPowsFl2aIFn5NBAebn7bk3XASkR-g1rNDwunVk6a38B-vcDc20_KFpBDYbKK_6NHlqsh4PH-Ek/s1600/connectors1.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548181018069941298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Bb-_ZjOpoVVKjWtaHjqhncEg1th4jAB0MluJNvcAxo85Gobp62QYbNnlUjn8f9MvYPowsFl2aIFn5NBAebn7bk3XASkR-g1rNDwunVk6a38B-vcDc20_KFpBDYbKK_6NHlqsh4PH-Ek/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a>Connectors are especially helpful for <a href="https://docs.google.com/previewtemplate?id=1sQ3I1eg9lcegcknK_A_BRfVZyjZ7JuvTRHv0rnTFFYI&mode=public">complex drawings</a> with lots of shapes and lines.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgimdSMf3AN41lLpnvo_6jqdv17dXyU1GOdbhIyKJXF8LTyavUdaA7hoS7UEVCdP36S8xQhPjbX0JJ5Js1D9CVtiF2vTHWle3k3vaSAzhyHyEKJxBkaX_RiIFgfguQctiupo7MLYhHU5g8/s1600/connectors2.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548181028191949522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgimdSMf3AN41lLpnvo_6jqdv17dXyU1GOdbhIyKJXF8LTyavUdaA7hoS7UEVCdP36S8xQhPjbX0JJ5Js1D9CVtiF2vTHWle3k3vaSAzhyHyEKJxBkaX_RiIFgfguQctiupo7MLYhHU5g8/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a><br />We’re hoping connectors will make drawing online just a little bit easier.

With other parameters you can choose from a <a href="http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=1068225">variety of sizing options</a> including size to fit, stretch, original size, and even specify a custom size. <div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-z_3DWce0o-vA5f3IdAcy-J0PxNNvEfdq_mgMyEF1pL7h1VvSF6rq-8aE18rSboB0v4nWsBD7nDFQZ2muf_ORbSUFXOUsFSogmaY_2VfuNMUV8Ym64Dk1Gnlh1q1FCBRI954oZ4mxkI/s1600/docs_87037_incell_image_en.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545452136026452098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-z_3DWce0o-vA5f3IdAcy-J0PxNNvEfdq_mgMyEF1pL7h1VvSF6rq-8aE18rSboB0v4nWsBD7nDFQZ2muf_ORbSUFXOUsFSogmaY_2VfuNMUV8Ym64Dk1Gnlh1q1FCBRI954oZ4mxkI/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 391px; height: 284px;" /></a><br />Try them all out using <a href="https://docs.google.com/previewtemplate?id=0AoFkkLP2MB8kdGRlaW5qMnZFV2JrN2ZZQ0tvTmtUOEE&mode=public">this template</a> and let us know what you think in the comments.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by: Li-Wei Lee, Senior Software Engineer</span></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Drive Blog:Tips and Tricks: Images in cells&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html&via=googledrive'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='17' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-and-tricks-images-in-cells.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Drive Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/spreadsheets' rel='tag'> spreadsheets </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1462225233834550167' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/improving-team-collaboration-and.html' itemprop='url' title='Improving team collaboration and productivity with Google Sites'> Improving team collaboration and productivity with Google Sites </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, November 30, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style:italic;">If you’re interested in learning more about Google Sites, this cross post from the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/11/improving-team-collaboration-and.html">Google Enterprise Blog</a> might interest you.<br /></span><br />Effective collaboration has become a key driver to improve team productivity.

Of course, we know that many more of you still use Microsoft Office, because until recently, there weren’t many tools to help you collaborate and share with others. Now there’s more <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/05/upgrade-here.html">choice</a>.<br /><br />To help smooth the transition from Office to the cloud, my teammates and I founded a company called DocVerse, which was <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/google-docs-welcomes-docverse.html">acquired</a> by Google earlier this year. Over the last 9 months, we’ve been hard at work moving the DocVerse product to Google’s infrastructure. We’ve also renamed it Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office. Today, we’re pleased to take the next step towards a public launch and make it available to early testers.<br /><br />For those of you who have not made the full move to Google Docs and are still using Microsoft Office, Google has something great to offer. With Cloud Connect, people can continue to use the familiar Office interface, while reaping many of the benefits of web-based collaboration that Google Docs users already enjoy.<br /><br />Users of Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 can sync their Office documents to the Google cloud, without ever leaving Office. Once synced, documents are backed-up, given a unique URL, and can be accessed from anywhere (including mobile devices) at any time through Google Docs. And because the files are stored in the cloud, people always have access to the current version.<br /><br /><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkLM85qEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/utEsH0IXMOE/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542422803794995266" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkLM85qEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/utEsH0IXMOE/GoogleCloudConnect.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 199px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;"></a>Once in the Google cloud, documents can be easily shared and even simultaneously edited by multiple people, from right within Office. A full revision history is kept as the files are edited, and users can revert to earlier versions in one click. These are all features that Google Docs users already enjoy today, and now we’re bringing them to Microsoft Office.<br /><br /><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png"></a><br /><div><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542423401045045394" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 234px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left; width: 320px;"></a>All you need is a Google account, and you’re ready to go.

Of course, we know that many more of you still use Microsoft Office, because until recently, there weren’t many tools to help you collaborate and share with others. Now there’s more <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/05/upgrade-here.html">choice</a>.<br /><br />To help smooth the transition from Office to the cloud, my teammates and I founded a company called DocVerse, which was <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/google-docs-welcomes-docverse.html">acquired</a> by Google earlier this year. Over the last 9 months, we’ve been hard at work moving the DocVerse product to Google’s infrastructure. We’ve also renamed it Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office. Today, we’re pleased to take the next step towards a public launch and make it available to early testers.<br /><br />For those of you who have not made the full move to Google Docs and are still using Microsoft Office, Google has something great to offer. With Cloud Connect, people can continue to use the familiar Office interface, while reaping many of the benefits of web-based collaboration that Google Docs users already enjoy.<br /><br />Users of Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 can sync their Office documents to the Google cloud, without ever leaving Office. Once synced, documents are backed-up, given a unique URL, and can be accessed from anywhere (including mobile devices) at any time through Google Docs. And because the files are stored in the cloud, people always have access to the current version.<br /><br /><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkLM85qEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/utEsH0IXMOE/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542422803794995266" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkLM85qEI/AAAAAAAAAGo/utEsH0IXMOE/GoogleCloudConnect.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 199px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;"></a>Once in the Google cloud, documents can be easily shared and even simultaneously edited by multiple people, from right within Office. A full revision history is kept as the files are edited, and users can revert to earlier versions in one click. These are all features that Google Docs users already enjoy today, and now we’re bringing them to Microsoft Office.<br /><br /><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png"></a><br /><div><a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/s1600/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542423401045045394" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/_7T3eYGdjqDU/TOqkt94aMJI/AAAAAAAAAGw/xr1dvRGOn_Y/GoogleCloudConnect%2B-%2Bconflict%2Bresolution%2Bdialogue.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 234px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left; width: 320px;"></a>All you need is a Google account, and you’re ready to go.

You can use the ruler to position your text anywhere on the page. And that makes it a powerful tool.<br /><br />There are a number of blue shapes on the ruler -- these affect the positioning of each paragraph, and are either <b>indents</b> or <b>tab stops</b>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbZ8Mr08B2mVJf5QTWaqPYCk9HjCeVqwUyeIZUNCKxgSBEG4asmcWQxXdpVm_PQVy6jqUGLWjBk3021b73NfzG6bxjt4HhheQQbVHwIOH9GTFSrEt34slzMg1yH2c_ESB7854-8xHKfY/s1600/ruler.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041880622303410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbZ8Mr08B2mVJf5QTWaqPYCk9HjCeVqwUyeIZUNCKxgSBEG4asmcWQxXdpVm_PQVy6jqUGLWjBk3021b73NfzG6bxjt4HhheQQbVHwIOH9GTFSrEt34slzMg1yH2c_ESB7854-8xHKfY/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a><br />All paragraphs have three indents: the <b>first line indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Nbt4jggFsymIkhy3HOURuudot7UXMy12Eu7fc-EXF_ihZmjoQOQHSq6gCb9GkbJDwRmuI3MaBY42_ixWV0RqECvIkYWZmMqiRakc8PAHV0eJHffc6g" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">,the <b>left indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOt9gdc6OsRE3fU10DhBqENqYF4lkKCp69rPKUYOKbViRExQrdYlceDvbyBCg_-4Z6N1TxKULdPfwxdLjq9P19RsOwoDvrm8NJroJquXMxeF1BrDDhegyT6Q0L-68fnrIDlH3243Wt0k/" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">, and the <b>right indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEium_v-nbod0A1IcfJMPKz0EJ-YxAnfDBfkgJwKd_EOryxBXvP1hWDC442wfgrq7qRYCwn-dDXmJ4x6Az0tC2gC0pEtAcdGHwvaVevoo3hcNGOiv9T7iWb0C678A_kMOj7JnXh_15BjOdI/" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">.<br /><br />Dragging the first line indent adjusts the left padding of the first line of a paragraph, while the left indent adjusts all subsequent lines of a paragraph. If you drag the left indent along the ruler, the first line indent will follow it. The right indent adjusts how far a paragraph extends toward the right side of the page.<div><br /><b>Tab stops</b><br /><br />Sometimes you need to control the display of your text with more granularity than what you can accomplish with just indents. That’s where tab stops come in handy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTOZbCbPJDNFXFlIQGWGvnwQarTldHLYCFBjyArcCiKtHofzcv6rG7ab56gY2gG3bSuqkG07cpAQnA3tptc9yDZ1_ubOdYnkoRzWi_yZwjoNtJs8H6da25Pysi5SV3OOV_FmNG1sN9ig/s1600/tabstops.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041868814839666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTOZbCbPJDNFXFlIQGWGvnwQarTldHLYCFBjyArcCiKtHofzcv6rG7ab56gY2gG3bSuqkG07cpAQnA3tptc9yDZ1_ubOdYnkoRzWi_yZwjoNtJs8H6da25Pysi5SV3OOV_FmNG1sN9ig/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a><br />With <b>tab stops</b>, you can align text relative to a specific spot on the ruler.

And to remove a tab stop, simply drag it off the ruler.</div><div><br /><b>Margins</b><br /><br />Tab stops and indents are great for adjusting individual paragraphs, but sometimes you want to change alignment for an entire document. For that, you can use margins.<br /><br />You can adjust the <b>left</b> and <b>right margins</b> by dragging the gray space on either side of the ruler.<br /><br />You can also adjust the <b>left</b> and <b>right margins</b>, as well as the <b>top</b> and <b>bottom margins</b> of your document from <b>File -> Page setup</b>. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwKq5Gs9rjjqynw9Th7VXd5mB6QSe2h8EAh0iI0QK_t-5mvbdEtWCxSA_aqp9SH3nTohGkoaLh4D7hhbAssMqkG7QRT4Lpa6_MYU27y0hVPgbQIPNURQgTBrxOPUN7gTo2ibh1G9NWU4/s1600/pagesetup.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041694532741250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwKq5Gs9rjjqynw9Th7VXd5mB6QSe2h8EAh0iI0QK_t-5mvbdEtWCxSA_aqp9SH3nTohGkoaLh4D7hhbAssMqkG7QRT4Lpa6_MYU27y0hVPgbQIPNURQgTBrxOPUN7gTo2ibh1G9NWU4/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;"></a><br />Once you get going, like with beige, it’s a bit surprising all of the things you can do with the trusty ruler.<br /><br /><font class="byline-author">Posted by: Luiz Pereira, Software Engineer</font></div></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> Recently, <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-different-about-new-google-docs.html">we launched a rebuilt document editor from the ground up</a>.

And that makes it a powerful tool.<br /><br />There are a number of blue shapes on the ruler -- these affect the positioning of each paragraph, and are either <b>indents</b> or <b>tab stops</b>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbZ8Mr08B2mVJf5QTWaqPYCk9HjCeVqwUyeIZUNCKxgSBEG4asmcWQxXdpVm_PQVy6jqUGLWjBk3021b73NfzG6bxjt4HhheQQbVHwIOH9GTFSrEt34slzMg1yH2c_ESB7854-8xHKfY/s1600/ruler.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041880622303410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLbZ8Mr08B2mVJf5QTWaqPYCk9HjCeVqwUyeIZUNCKxgSBEG4asmcWQxXdpVm_PQVy6jqUGLWjBk3021b73NfzG6bxjt4HhheQQbVHwIOH9GTFSrEt34slzMg1yH2c_ESB7854-8xHKfY/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a><br />All paragraphs have three indents: the <b>first line indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Nbt4jggFsymIkhy3HOURuudot7UXMy12Eu7fc-EXF_ihZmjoQOQHSq6gCb9GkbJDwRmuI3MaBY42_ixWV0RqECvIkYWZmMqiRakc8PAHV0eJHffc6g" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">,the <b>left indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOt9gdc6OsRE3fU10DhBqENqYF4lkKCp69rPKUYOKbViRExQrdYlceDvbyBCg_-4Z6N1TxKULdPfwxdLjq9P19RsOwoDvrm8NJroJquXMxeF1BrDDhegyT6Q0L-68fnrIDlH3243Wt0k/" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">, and the <b>right indent</b><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEium_v-nbod0A1IcfJMPKz0EJ-YxAnfDBfkgJwKd_EOryxBXvP1hWDC442wfgrq7qRYCwn-dDXmJ4x6Az0tC2gC0pEtAcdGHwvaVevoo3hcNGOiv9T7iWb0C678A_kMOj7JnXh_15BjOdI/" style="width: 16px; height: 14px; border: none; padding: 0;">.<br /><br />Dragging the first line indent adjusts the left padding of the first line of a paragraph, while the left indent adjusts all subsequent lines of a paragraph. If you drag the left indent along the ruler, the first line indent will follow it. The right indent adjusts how far a paragraph extends toward the right side of the page.<div><br /><b>Tab stops</b><br /><br />Sometimes you need to control the display of your text with more granularity than what you can accomplish with just indents. That’s where tab stops come in handy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTOZbCbPJDNFXFlIQGWGvnwQarTldHLYCFBjyArcCiKtHofzcv6rG7ab56gY2gG3bSuqkG07cpAQnA3tptc9yDZ1_ubOdYnkoRzWi_yZwjoNtJs8H6da25Pysi5SV3OOV_FmNG1sN9ig/s1600/tabstops.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041868814839666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTOZbCbPJDNFXFlIQGWGvnwQarTldHLYCFBjyArcCiKtHofzcv6rG7ab56gY2gG3bSuqkG07cpAQnA3tptc9yDZ1_ubOdYnkoRzWi_yZwjoNtJs8H6da25Pysi5SV3OOV_FmNG1sN9ig/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;"></a><br />With <b>tab stops</b>, you can align text relative to a specific spot on the ruler.

And to remove a tab stop, simply drag it off the ruler.</div><div><br /><b>Margins</b><br /><br />Tab stops and indents are great for adjusting individual paragraphs, but sometimes you want to change alignment for an entire document. For that, you can use margins.<br /><br />You can adjust the <b>left</b> and <b>right margins</b> by dragging the gray space on either side of the ruler.<br /><br />You can also adjust the <b>left</b> and <b>right margins</b>, as well as the <b>top</b> and <b>bottom margins</b> of your document from <b>File -> Page setup</b>. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwKq5Gs9rjjqynw9Th7VXd5mB6QSe2h8EAh0iI0QK_t-5mvbdEtWCxSA_aqp9SH3nTohGkoaLh4D7hhbAssMqkG7QRT4Lpa6_MYU27y0hVPgbQIPNURQgTBrxOPUN7gTo2ibh1G9NWU4/s1600/pagesetup.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537041694532741250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwKq5Gs9rjjqynw9Th7VXd5mB6QSe2h8EAh0iI0QK_t-5mvbdEtWCxSA_aqp9SH3nTohGkoaLh4D7hhbAssMqkG7QRT4Lpa6_MYU27y0hVPgbQIPNURQgTBrxOPUN7gTo2ibh1G9NWU4/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;"></a><br />Once you get going, like with beige, it’s a bit surprising all of the things you can do with the trusty ruler.<br /><br /><font class="byline-author">Posted by: Luiz Pereira, Software Engineer</font></div></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Drive Blog:Tips & Tricks: Our favorite shade of beige, the ruler&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html&via=googledrive'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='6' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/tips-tricks-our-favorite-shade-of-beige.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/documents' rel='tag'> documents </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Drive Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7201335183651761392' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2010/11/google-docs-on-twitter.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Docs on Twitter'> Google Docs on Twitter </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, November 3, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Want to stay up-to-date on all the latest Google Docs news, tips and tricks?

A year later, we started a podcast (<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/my-three-shrinks/id207838516">My Three Shrinks</a>) that has received great reviews in iTunes. Late in 2007, we decided to take some of those posts and weave them together to write a book.<br /><br />We started out using a desktop word processor to write the book, each chapter being a separate document. We learned about the limitations of making edits and sending out each of our revisions to the other two: we very quickly had multiple out-of-sync versions and the whole thing was a mess. This is from one of Dinah’s emails back then: “<span style="font-style:italic;">With 3 people doing this, I need to be able to keep track of what everyone wants to write.

But I knew it had to be better than what we were doing.<br /><br />Once we switched to Google Docs, writing the book together became a much more fluid process because we were able to focus on the writing and not on the complications of getting the technology to keep up with us. We imported the first couple chapters and proceeded from there, making each chapter a separate document shared by the three of us and (eventually) our editor. We could write our own chapters privately until they were ready to show our co-authors, then sharing was as simple as clicking a couple buttons. Whenever we changed our minds about what to take out, we were able to restore sections from previously saved versions. We didn’t have to think about which version of word processing software someone was using, or if the documents would lose formatting between Mac and Windows. And, I could see when my co-authors were also working on the book, so I knew when to call and talk about the project.<br /><br />Eighteen months after getting the book contract, we had a completed manuscript ready for copy editing.<br /><br />Google Docs also helped to save our relationship. Initially, despite being good friends, the three of us had many conflicts about the technology and about the way we wanted to write (e.g., grammar, tense, tone, characters). When we were using emailed versions of documents, our arguments increased. After switching to Google Docs, we went back to our usual level of bickering ;-).<br /><br />The book is being typeset now by Johns Hopkins University Press and will be out in May of 2011.
