We recently<a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2012/03/spell-checking-powered-by-web.html"> debuted a new spell checker</a> that gets smarter and grows with the web, and we’ve also turned on a few features that let you do more with Docs.<br /><br /><b>New charting options </b><br />We’ve added a bunch of new ways to make richer charts in Google spreadsheets. You can now control the opacity of an area chart, set fonts to be bold or italic, and label sections of your charts along the axis.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-z84G1Olqh7U/T3xqCpe0wtI/AAAAAAAAFC4/G03KkSg1HHM/s1600/blogimage1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-z84G1Olqh7U/T3xqCpe0wtI/AAAAAAAAFC4/G03KkSg1HHM/s640/blogimage1.png" width="640"></a></div><br />These new features bring the number of charting improvements up to 30 since the beginning of the year, which is about 1 new feature every 3 days.

Starting this month, we’re going to make some small changes to how we communicate what’s been happening in the world of Docs. Instead of writing blog posts for each and every minor update, we're going to try bundling them together monthly to give you a detailed overview of our favorite features and a short list of other notable changes to make sure you don't miss out on anything new.<br /><br />On that note, we’ve got a bunch of new features that launched today, as well as some great things that improved over the month of January.<br /><br /><b>Customizable styles in documents</b><br />Giving your document consistent and beautiful formatting should be easy. Before today, if you wanted to update all the Subtitles in your document to look a particular way, you had to change each of them one at a time. That’s too many steps. Now you can <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116338">restyle</a> all your regular paragraphs, headings, or titles with just a couple clicks. For example, if you want to update all the Subtitles in your document to be a particular size, set one Subtitle to that size, select it, right click and choose <b>Update Subtitle to match selection</b>. This will change all the Subtitles already in your document and automatically update the style for any new Subtitles you create. Plus, with the new <b>Options</b> menu in the styles dropdown, you can set the current document’s styles as the default for new documents or you can load your default styles into the current document.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Sparklines in spreadsheets and more charting options</b><br />In Google spreadsheets, we’ve added more charting options and support for <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2371371">sparklines</a> to make it easier to communicate data. The <a href="http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190676">new options</a> give you a bunch of tools to create more sophisticated charts including different Y-axes on either side of the chart, formatting options for the axis and title text, and all sorts of other customization for how your lines, bars, or pies are displayed. We’ve also added sparklines, which let you display line or bar charts inside of cells and are handy for presenting and comparing data in a simple, bite-sized way. In the example below, we’ve used sparklines to plot currency exchange rates over a 30-day period.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2V_tarxXgosu-OVMa9JsOt-6LSxVNUmGFWq_g4x3mv7lWAHjM1YTYF1ZIu4px76_OZEzLJVoskX3NPHF2sruRYMYrqWNr3V5Rv1OXSr6eFqD3BtxlSaAn2BJAFWRINQ3Y4IQrZWWMDQk/s1600/jan_sparklines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2V_tarxXgosu-OVMa9JsOt-6LSxVNUmGFWq_g4x3mv7lWAHjM1YTYF1ZIu4px76_OZEzLJVoskX3NPHF2sruRYMYrqWNr3V5Rv1OXSr6eFqD3BtxlSaAn2BJAFWRINQ3Y4IQrZWWMDQk/s640/jan_sparklines.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></div><b>Sharing forms on Google+ </b><br />Sharing the forms you create in Google Docs with the right people shouldn’t be a hassle.

We build realistic-looking prototypes of new Google Docs features, so that our researchers can try them out with people. This lets us improve them before our engineers build the real thing. I’ve been here two years, but things move so quickly it may as well be 10.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s your typical day like?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hop on the subway, read a few chapters of whatever sci-fi novel I’m working through (currently “Olympos” by Dan Simmons), and get to the office in about an hour.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Grab a coffee, then try to tackle my email inbox.

That said, we always prioritize, and then squeeze in a few “blue sky” projects so we keep moving forward and never get stuck in the status quo. We call a project “blue sky” when it’s unrealistic by today’s standards, but could be a great direction tomorrow.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What did you do before joining Google?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve always worked in NYC—love the east coast (as I alienate myself from my west coast colleagues with this post). Started out as an indie game developer, then worked in voice technology for a few years. I was delighted to discover a posting for “User Interface Software Engineer” at Google NYC, and haven’t looked back since. I focus more on UX than engineering these days, but there’s an important intersection between the two that I represent.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What are the three Docs features you wouldn’t be able to live without?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Can I list ones that haven’t launched yet? Probably not. Okay, in that case: @-mentions in document comments that shoot off emails to people, Google Forms to quickly gather feedback, and real-time editing to bang out ideas as a group. These are all critical to my daily work.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do you do when you’re not working on Docs?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Far too much computer gaming.

My favorite spot is Central Park. People are often surprised that you can spot over 20 bird species in a single afternoon there with a pair of binoculars. Did you know there’s a family of red-tailed hawks in the park that has reared several seasons of chicks now? Google “Pale Male”. On one outing, one of those hawks dove not more than a foot above my head to pick up a mouse beneath a tree across from me. Promptly carried it to a nearby branch and … dined. Very cool experience.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What kind of desk flair do you have?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Souvenirs from aquariums and zoos I’ve visited, and a photobooth print out of me and my partner at one of the Google NYC holiday parties.

On the other hand, occasionally I get to work on bigger changes that help push technology in new directions, and that’s a blast too.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s the most challenging part of your role?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are so many teams that want to see their ideas prototyped, that sometimes I have to put a few on the backburner. That said, we always prioritize, and then squeeze in a few “blue sky” projects so we keep moving forward and never get stuck in the status quo. We call a project “blue sky” when it’s unrealistic by today’s standards, but could be a great direction tomorrow.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What did you do before joining Google?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve always worked in NYC—love the east coast (as I alienate myself from my west coast colleagues with this post). Started out as an indie game developer, then worked in voice technology for a few years. I was delighted to discover a posting for “User Interface Software Engineer” at Google NYC, and haven’t looked back since. I focus more on UX than engineering these days, but there’s an important intersection between the two that I represent.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What are the three Docs features you wouldn’t be able to live without?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Can I list ones that haven’t launched yet? Probably not. Okay, in that case: @-mentions in document comments that shoot off emails to people, Google Forms to quickly gather feedback, and real-time editing to bang out ideas as a group. These are all critical to my daily work.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do you do when you’re not working on Docs?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Far too much computer gaming.

My favorite spot is Central Park. People are often surprised that you can spot over 20 bird species in a single afternoon there with a pair of binoculars. Did you know there’s a family of red-tailed hawks in the park that has reared several seasons of chicks now? Google “Pale Male”. On one outing, one of those hawks dove not more than a foot above my head to pick up a mouse beneath a tree across from me. Promptly carried it to a nearby branch and … dined. Very cool experience.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What kind of desk flair do you have?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Souvenirs from aquariums and zoos I’ve visited, and a photobooth print out of me and my partner at one of the Google NYC holiday parties. At last year’s, they had caricature artists, but I’m not ready to share that particular image of me yet. :)</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s your pet peeve?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Apathy.

Creating presentations together is easy because you can:<br /><ul><li>See exactly what others are working on with colorful presence markers</li><li>Edit with your team members simultaneously from different locations</li><li>Use revision history to see who made changes or to revert to earlier versions</li><li>Say hello, start a conversation or share new ideas using built-in chat</li></ul><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglf0-sXkzjzdhLDHWPwBHh0OFJlfQaUC2vZVxDUASSGr31Y1u1CxpQoS3e-XGK02DUj4Qx4QNWUyimNquhD4cj9Cxk7CsSqa7L-wi_Df8ycl8sT6FN8yvVgak2r0mJcAlpzLaj-w9d1mc/s1600/presentations1_collaborate.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664869754833330322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglf0-sXkzjzdhLDHWPwBHh0OFJlfQaUC2vZVxDUASSGr31Y1u1CxpQoS3e-XGK02DUj4Qx4QNWUyimNquhD4cj9Cxk7CsSqa7L-wi_Df8ycl8sT6FN8yvVgak2r0mJcAlpzLaj-w9d1mc/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" /></a><br /><b>More than 50 new features </b><br />In the new presentations, we’ve added many of your most requested features, including:<br /><ul><li><b>Transitions</b> to move between slides with simple fades or spicier 3D effects</li><li><b>Animations</b> to add emphasis or to make your slides more playful</li><li><b>New themes</b> to create beautiful presentations with distinct visual styles</li><li><b>Drawings</b> to build new designs, layouts, and flowcharts within a presentation</li><li><b>Rich tables</b> with merged cells and more options for adding style to your data</li></ul><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjItKxYZPUYTtUrCkK1r5IR5eoOMIIdt31x7lysjsDRpGy0yjC3r4v799a18k6g_Mow4gVrXnuO4nAcW5GO3jDIajg7xIwE6rluoM7hdE81V1asJmDlKnxeQNfRwf3koxi5ZkllXBOcLO4/s1600/presentations3_features1.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664870019454631506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjItKxYZPUYTtUrCkK1r5IR5eoOMIIdt31x7lysjsDRpGy0yjC3r4v799a18k6g_Mow4gVrXnuO4nAcW5GO3jDIajg7xIwE6rluoM7hdE81V1asJmDlKnxeQNfRwf3koxi5ZkllXBOcLO4/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAVrawXolk3TZIaAEBaRmpNUw1IbvXU2pNrg4uxJUOBdLjKOBZsp9q-0SUs6p3rmmJbpfBB8X4iLPnnDd5S3jYFDduTWyWbBAL0jySWQCrrVzZmYnTwKrYynWWiGvv296fXsPiFiaqlA/s1600/presentations4_features2.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664870281421798018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAVrawXolk3TZIaAEBaRmpNUw1IbvXU2pNrg4uxJUOBdLjKOBZsp9q-0SUs6p3rmmJbpfBB8X4iLPnnDd5S3jYFDduTWyWbBAL0jySWQCrrVzZmYnTwKrYynWWiGvv296fXsPiFiaqlA/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><b>What’s next</b><br />We’re gradually rolling out the new presentations.

Then, from the <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/settings?id=docs">editing tab</a>, check the box to “Create new presentations using the latest version of the presentation editor.” Learn more about <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=126127">getting started</a> with the new presentation editor over at our Help Center.<br /><br />Many of the new features were built using technologies that are only available in <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=37560">modern browsers</a>. If you’re using an older browser you’ll be able to view, but not edit, the new presentations.<br /><br />With today’s launch, the Google Docs suite is now built on a single, solid foundation. Now that the groundwork is in place, you can expect more useful and collaborative features, delivered faster than ever before. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO8p3SjaiDqKq0QN57Hn2zDHtJGuqdUtKVNG4v1IOR90E7YO5n3E80B6es3TVkjdFkKMr84OUEI-Jfgv-2qYLp-5lwAEofzfYI4OGUlPPmkUWtkXqlK9xpSh4kLH-1tazXBOnAhTdABo/s1600/presentations5_last.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664870451253040178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYO8p3SjaiDqKq0QN57Hn2zDHtJGuqdUtKVNG4v1IOR90E7YO5n3E80B6es3TVkjdFkKMr84OUEI-Jfgv-2qYLp-5lwAEofzfYI4OGUlPPmkUWtkXqlK9xpSh4kLH-1tazXBOnAhTdABo/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Posted by: </span>Steven Saviano, Software Engineer</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/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.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:A fresh start for Google presentations&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.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/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.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='30' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2011/10/a-fresh-start-for-google-presentations.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/googlenew' rel='tag'> googlenew </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/presentations' rel='tag'> presentations </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3372517786567306433' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2011/10/experience-new-look-of-docs-and-sites.html' itemprop='url' title='Experience the new look of Docs and Sites'> Experience the new look of Docs and Sites </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, October 3, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Starting today, we’re rolling out the new design for Google Docs and Sites to everyone.<br /><br />We began rolling out these improvements in <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/08/try-out-new-look-and-keyboard-shortcuts.html">early August</a> with the documents list and have since upgraded our entire collaboration suite.

The new format painter allows you to copy the style of your text, including font, size, color and other formatting options and apply it somewhere else in your document. To use the format painter, select the text for the formatting you want to copy, press the paintbrush button in your toolbar, and then select the text where you want to apply that formatting.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHhmfyx-KLnlgsrVMP5hJ5g9OiG83hqFrosG-3nyPhwzznrKi_jt9wpQHgQY8xMcfpyYjnlALLJsApu0nj7UUg6s2llgqv9GvIRzLDfw3H4VaJidpJBY3RK9Sr61KCIQcbOSzWgfkrIQ/s1600/format+paint.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651896574927384018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHhmfyx-KLnlgsrVMP5hJ5g9OiG83hqFrosG-3nyPhwzznrKi_jt9wpQHgQY8xMcfpyYjnlALLJsApu0nj7UUg6s2llgqv9GvIRzLDfw3H4VaJidpJBY3RK9Sr61KCIQcbOSzWgfkrIQ/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 109px;" /></a><br />If you double-click on the format painter icon, you’ll enter a mode that lets you select multiple sections of text so you can apply the same formatting to each section.<br /><br />You can also use keyboard shortcuts for format painting. To copy the style of your selected text, press <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ctrl+Option+C</span> for Mac or <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ctrl+Alt+C </span>for Windows.

The new format painter allows you to copy the style of your text, including font, size, color and other formatting options and apply it somewhere else in your document. To use the format painter, select the text for the formatting you want to copy, press the paintbrush button in your toolbar, and then select the text where you want to apply that formatting.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHhmfyx-KLnlgsrVMP5hJ5g9OiG83hqFrosG-3nyPhwzznrKi_jt9wpQHgQY8xMcfpyYjnlALLJsApu0nj7UUg6s2llgqv9GvIRzLDfw3H4VaJidpJBY3RK9Sr61KCIQcbOSzWgfkrIQ/s1600/format+paint.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651896574927384018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHhmfyx-KLnlgsrVMP5hJ5g9OiG83hqFrosG-3nyPhwzznrKi_jt9wpQHgQY8xMcfpyYjnlALLJsApu0nj7UUg6s2llgqv9GvIRzLDfw3H4VaJidpJBY3RK9Sr61KCIQcbOSzWgfkrIQ/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 109px;" /></a><br />If you double-click on the format painter icon, you’ll enter a mode that lets you select multiple sections of text so you can apply the same formatting to each section.<br /><br />You can also use keyboard shortcuts for format painting.

Since then, we’ve continued to work on ways to improve your mobile experience, and I’m excited to share a couple of new updates that we hope will do just that. <br /><br /><br /><br />Starting today, you can easily take pictures with your Android phone and insert them into a Google document, using the new Web Clipboard feature. Here’s how:<br /><br /><br /><br />1. From the Docs widget on your phone, tap the camera icon. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJycIOY45tE1D8YaJkWOnjvRF6DODu2eAQ4eihZGkVXzd9ONVQZUFeA6-HvRqYsgf32sbWVglKRF2-aZIMwChYfpQjCHwxlsFI_iez-_J91QU4MKz3uOEanxD_oyXIKN9BM2JK1jHxrPg/s1600/Docs-android-widget.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644206137288848626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJycIOY45tE1D8YaJkWOnjvRF6DODu2eAQ4eihZGkVXzd9ONVQZUFeA6-HvRqYsgf32sbWVglKRF2-aZIMwChYfpQjCHwxlsFI_iez-_J91QU4MKz3uOEanxD_oyXIKN9BM2JK1jHxrPg/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" /></a><br /><br />2.

Since then, we’ve continued to work on ways to improve your mobile experience, and I’m excited to share a couple of new updates that we hope will do just that. <br /><br /><br /><br />Starting today, you can easily take pictures with your Android phone and insert them into a Google document, using the new Web Clipboard feature. Here’s how:<br /><br /><br /><br />1. From the Docs widget on your phone, tap the camera icon. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJycIOY45tE1D8YaJkWOnjvRF6DODu2eAQ4eihZGkVXzd9ONVQZUFeA6-HvRqYsgf32sbWVglKRF2-aZIMwChYfpQjCHwxlsFI_iez-_J91QU4MKz3uOEanxD_oyXIKN9BM2JK1jHxrPg/s1600/Docs-android-widget.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644206137288848626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJycIOY45tE1D8YaJkWOnjvRF6DODu2eAQ4eihZGkVXzd9ONVQZUFeA6-HvRqYsgf32sbWVglKRF2-aZIMwChYfpQjCHwxlsFI_iez-_J91QU4MKz3uOEanxD_oyXIKN9BM2JK1jHxrPg/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" /></a><br /><br />2.

As I became increasingly frustrated with these programs crashing mid-sentence, I thought I’d give Google Docs a try. But what started as an experiment to test Google Docs for group projects and class notes quickly became a permanent solution for all of my schoolwork, and I haven’t looked back once. Here are a few of my favorite uses of Google Docs in college:<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>1. Work together on group projects</b><br /><br />Before I started using Google Docs, group projects were a nightmare. A co-authored paper would fragment into a dozen different documents. Group presentations became last minute scrambles to get combine slides. Any information sharing about our project took place in splintered email threads. With Google Docs, my class groups are able work together on the same presentation or paper simultaneously while sharing links and ideas in a separate doc. The <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1208624&topic=1208639">discussions feature</a> released earlier this year made collaboration even simpler.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>2. Take notes collaboratively</b><br /><br />My classmates and I always get together near exam time to combine our notes and share ideas, so why not do it in real time? I work with friends to take in-class notes on a single Google doc, allowing everyone to come away with a more thorough set of notes than they could have written individually. I discuss this concept in more detail on my blog, <a href="http://www.hackcollege.com/blog/2011/3/30/use-google-docs-to-tag-team-class-note-taking.html#comments">HackCollege</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>3. Convert PDFs and handouts to searchable text with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)</b><br /><br />As a student, I get a lot of assigned reading as PDF files. Unfortunately, most of them are low-quality scans from the library, which makes it hard to search through them for keywords or make annotations. With Google Docs’ <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=176692">OCR capabilities</a>, I’m able to upload a low-quality PDF and receive an editable text document in return. This also works well for any important handouts professors give out in class -- I just scan the handout and upload to Google Docs, keeping all of my class material in one place.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>4. Save major assignments in the cloud</b><br /><br />Writing important papers in Google Docs allows me to access my assignments and papers from any computer, anywhere. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been stuck in the library without my laptop, or only have my smartphone handy. With Google Docs, it doesn’t matter, because all of my assignments are stored in the cloud, meaning I don’t have to be tethered to my laptop to get work done. This saved my sanity (and GPA) during finals last semester, when my computer crashed and was out of commission for over a week. Luckily, there was no need to panic, because I knew my final papers and study guides were tucked safely in the Google Docs cloud, instead of my dying hard drive.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>5. Collect information from a group with forms</b><br /><br />Before I started using Google Docs, organizing my classmates for a group dinner or campus event was a nightmare. Now, I use Google Docs to create web <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=87809">forms</a> to send to my friends and classmates. My friends have gotten involved too, using it for keeping track of club participation, voting on housing for their fraternity’s beach weekend, and even conducting surveys for major research projects.<br /><br /><br /><br /><i>Posted by: Shep McAllister, HackCollege.com Blogger & Trinity University Student</i> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <i>Shep McAllister is a rising senior at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, and editor of the popular student blog <a href="http://hackcollege.com/">HackCollege</a>.
