That’s the amount of time the average person spends working during their lifetime. To put that in perspective, if you spend 90,000 hours watching movies and did nothing else — no sleep, no breaks — you would be watching for 10 years non-stop.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /> Since you spend so much time at work, we want you to have the latest Google Apps updates when they're available to make working easier. That means your apps are constantly being updated with new and helpful features almost every week to ensure you have the latest tools, security updates and speed improvements — as soon as they’re ready. And that applies across the Docs editors as well. So as a busy 2014 comes to a close, we want to highlight a few of the new ways get things done with Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b><br /></b> <b>Work with any kind of file</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> You come across all types of files all day. The last thing you want to worry about is what software you need in order to view or edit these files. For this reason, we made it so you can <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">open and edit Office files</a> directly in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, on your desktop, phone or tablet. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b><br /></b> <b>Make suggestions</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Editing files in real-time with others is a great way to work together across the Docs editors, and many of you asked for the ability to suggest changes in other peoples’ documents, rather than making edits directly. Now you can do just that with <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">Suggest Edits in Docs</a>. Make suggestions that can be accepted or rejected with a single click. And when you convert a Word file to Docs or vice versa, your tracked changes will convert as well.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXTPaBTx-pge8jqQydPILm96LD9e16ty_K2i7dnUVGtw5TUqgYEO89pdOaTDdaND0QKZQDpyXIP8M7Ef-nFxlpUjCa0QYCQ-cq9iL4toeWWdNTFEMjFGM9uf0Q3PXhXijmkF6Urno35M/s1600/SuggestEdits.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXTPaBTx-pge8jqQydPILm96LD9e16ty_K2i7dnUVGtw5TUqgYEO89pdOaTDdaND0QKZQDpyXIP8M7Ef-nFxlpUjCa0QYCQ-cq9iL4toeWWdNTFEMjFGM9uf0Q3PXhXijmkF6Urno35M/s640/SuggestEdits.gif" /></a></div> <b>Work on any of your devices.</b> We created <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/04/docssheetsapps.html" target="_blank">new mobile apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides</a> across Android and iOS, where you can edit your documents, presentations and spreadsheets on the go. While working in the cloud means you have access to your documents on any of these devices, you can still access or create documents even if you don’t have a data or WiFi connection.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Edit your images directly</b> Sometimes the best way to convey a thought is visually and you need your images to look just right, which is why we made it easier to edit and adjust images. You can now <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/edit-images-right-in-google-slides-and.html" target="_blank">crop</a> your images, even masking the crop to specific shapes, and add borders in Docs, Slides and Drawings. Plus, you can <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/RHKbQnnRtP6?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">connect objects and images in Slides and Drawings</a>, <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/editimagesinslides.html" target="_blank">recolor and change opacity</a> of images in Slides, and even add effects.<br /> <br /> <b>Get things done faster</b> We want to help you take care of your common tasks. And you know what lots of people make in documents? Bullet lists. So now, just type an asterisk (*) and it will automatically become bullets in Docs and Slides. Nobody likes having to do the same thing twice (unless you’re Santa) so just copy and paste your charts between different spreadsheets in Sheets. For all the regression lovers out there, you can also add <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/dCH8dS7CSMD?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">trendlines</a>, and to further visualize trends, you can add miniature charts, or <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/Q9QEEmtywt1?" target="_blank">sparklines</a>, into individual cells.<br /> <br /> <b>Get answers to your surveys</b> Forms is a great way to gather information, and across 2014, we added lots of new ways to ask questions and get answers. You can <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/custom-forms-themes.html" target="_blank">customize themes</a> in Forms to add your own flare and create short URLs that are easier to share. There are also lots of new question options, like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-few-more-ways-to-make-forms-your-own.html" target="_blank">limiting</a> one response per person and shuffling the answer order.<br /> <br /> <b>Add tons of functionality from 3rd parties</b> Add-ons for <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/add-ons.html" target="_blank">Docs, Sheets</a> and <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/formsadd-ons.html" target="_blank">Forms</a> are tools created by developers that help you do those extra things you need help with, whether it’s printing mailing labels or adding MLA-approved citations, right from your document.<br /> <br /> <b>Let there be tables</b> You can add borders and backgrounds to your tables, and <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/fDKE7htJ2Ma?" target="_blank">merge cells together</a> to get your tables to look just how you want. And when you convert your legacy files to Docs, the table cells and borders will still be there so you can keep working.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpv82bbkEYfCIDzsVuSoo2wH0KrusDjhPM303rH4PC8LF7QhXQfria-yeFYz0BTfUG3cHTpCQcNL8k0ZE4_PRwNI57987cgDAkZhTvPK5vY00QMVJtcFT-EuT3hqAsesfdDEaelSjbixk/s1600/Mondrian.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpv82bbkEYfCIDzsVuSoo2wH0KrusDjhPM303rH4PC8LF7QhXQfria-yeFYz0BTfUG3cHTpCQcNL8k0ZE4_PRwNI57987cgDAkZhTvPK5vY00QMVJtcFT-EuT3hqAsesfdDEaelSjbixk/s1600/Mondrian.gif" width="640" /></a> <b>And let everyone, including blind and low-vision users, get work done</b> <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-drive-and-docs-editors-designed.html" target="_blank">Across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms</a>, it’s much easier to use a screen reader, with better text-to-voice verbalization and improvements to keyboard navigation. You can now use braille support to read and enter text in Docs, Slides and Drawings. And you can collaborate easier with others in Docs, Sheets, Slides or Drawings because screen readers announce when people enter or leave the document, and you’ll hear when others are editing alongside you. We’ll continue to make a ton of updates behind the scenes to ensure everything keeps running faster and smoother next year. Four cheers (Docs! Sheets! Slides! Forms!) for a happy work life in 2015.<br /> <br /> Posted by Ryan Tabone, Director of Product Management, Docs editors</div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <i>Cross-posted from the <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-forms.html" target="_blank">Google for Work Blog</a></i><br /> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> 90,000 hours.

That means your apps are constantly being updated with new and helpful features almost every week to ensure you have the latest tools, security updates and speed improvements — as soon as they’re ready. And that applies across the Docs editors as well. So as a busy 2014 comes to a close, we want to highlight a few of the new ways get things done with Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b><br /></b> <b>Work with any kind of file</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> You come across all types of files all day. The last thing you want to worry about is what software you need in order to view or edit these files. For this reason, we made it so you can <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">open and edit Office files</a> directly in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, on your desktop, phone or tablet. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b><br /></b> <b>Make suggestions</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Editing files in real-time with others is a great way to work together across the Docs editors, and many of you asked for the ability to suggest changes in other peoples’ documents, rather than making edits directly. Now you can do just that with <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">Suggest Edits in Docs</a>. Make suggestions that can be accepted or rejected with a single click. And when you convert a Word file to Docs or vice versa, your tracked changes will convert as well.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXTPaBTx-pge8jqQydPILm96LD9e16ty_K2i7dnUVGtw5TUqgYEO89pdOaTDdaND0QKZQDpyXIP8M7Ef-nFxlpUjCa0QYCQ-cq9iL4toeWWdNTFEMjFGM9uf0Q3PXhXijmkF6Urno35M/s1600/SuggestEdits.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXTPaBTx-pge8jqQydPILm96LD9e16ty_K2i7dnUVGtw5TUqgYEO89pdOaTDdaND0QKZQDpyXIP8M7Ef-nFxlpUjCa0QYCQ-cq9iL4toeWWdNTFEMjFGM9uf0Q3PXhXijmkF6Urno35M/s640/SuggestEdits.gif" /></a></div> <b>Work on any of your devices.</b> We created <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/04/docssheetsapps.html" target="_blank">new mobile apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides</a> across Android and iOS, where you can edit your documents, presentations and spreadsheets on the go. While working in the cloud means you have access to your documents on any of these devices, you can still access or create documents even if you don’t have a data or WiFi connection.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Edit your images directly</b> Sometimes the best way to convey a thought is visually and you need your images to look just right, which is why we made it easier to edit and adjust images. You can now <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/edit-images-right-in-google-slides-and.html" target="_blank">crop</a> your images, even masking the crop to specific shapes, and add borders in Docs, Slides and Drawings. Plus, you can <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/RHKbQnnRtP6?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">connect objects and images in Slides and Drawings</a>, <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/editimagesinslides.html" target="_blank">recolor and change opacity</a> of images in Slides, and even add effects.<br /> <br /> <b>Get things done faster</b> We want to help you take care of your common tasks. And you know what lots of people make in documents? Bullet lists. So now, just type an asterisk (*) and it will automatically become bullets in Docs and Slides. Nobody likes having to do the same thing twice (unless you’re Santa) so just copy and paste your charts between different spreadsheets in Sheets. For all the regression lovers out there, you can also add <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/dCH8dS7CSMD?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">trendlines</a>, and to further visualize trends, you can add miniature charts, or <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/Q9QEEmtywt1?" target="_blank">sparklines</a>, into individual cells.<br /> <br /> <b>Get answers to your surveys</b> Forms is a great way to gather information, and across 2014, we added lots of new ways to ask questions and get answers. You can <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/custom-forms-themes.html" target="_blank">customize themes</a> in Forms to add your own flare and create short URLs that are easier to share. There are also lots of new question options, like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-few-more-ways-to-make-forms-your-own.html" target="_blank">limiting</a> one response per person and shuffling the answer order.<br /> <br /> <b>Add tons of functionality from 3rd parties</b> Add-ons for <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/add-ons.html" target="_blank">Docs, Sheets</a> and <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/formsadd-ons.html" target="_blank">Forms</a> are tools created by developers that help you do those extra things you need help with, whether it’s printing mailing labels or adding MLA-approved citations, right from your document.<br /> <br /> <b>Let there be tables</b> You can add borders and backgrounds to your tables, and <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/fDKE7htJ2Ma?" target="_blank">merge cells together</a> to get your tables to look just how you want. And when you convert your legacy files to Docs, the table cells and borders will still be there so you can keep working.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpv82bbkEYfCIDzsVuSoo2wH0KrusDjhPM303rH4PC8LF7QhXQfria-yeFYz0BTfUG3cHTpCQcNL8k0ZE4_PRwNI57987cgDAkZhTvPK5vY00QMVJtcFT-EuT3hqAsesfdDEaelSjbixk/s1600/Mondrian.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpv82bbkEYfCIDzsVuSoo2wH0KrusDjhPM303rH4PC8LF7QhXQfria-yeFYz0BTfUG3cHTpCQcNL8k0ZE4_PRwNI57987cgDAkZhTvPK5vY00QMVJtcFT-EuT3hqAsesfdDEaelSjbixk/s1600/Mondrian.gif" width="640" /></a> <b>And let everyone, including blind and low-vision users, get work done</b> <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-drive-and-docs-editors-designed.html" target="_blank">Across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms</a>, it’s much easier to use a screen reader, with better text-to-voice verbalization and improvements to keyboard navigation. You can now use braille support to read and enter text in Docs, Slides and Drawings. And you can collaborate easier with others in Docs, Sheets, Slides or Drawings because screen readers announce when people enter or leave the document, and you’ll hear when others are editing alongside you. We’ll continue to make a ton of updates behind the scenes to ensure everything keeps running faster and smoother next year. Four cheers (Docs! Sheets! Slides! Forms!) for a happy work life in 2015.<br /> <br /> Posted by Ryan Tabone, Director of Product Management, Docs editors</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/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.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:2014 cheers for Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.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/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.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='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2014/12/2014-cheers-for-docs-sheets-slides-and.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/docs' rel='tag'> docs </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/drawings' rel='tag'> drawings </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/enterprise' rel='tag'> enterprise </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/forms' rel='tag'> forms </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/office%20compatibility%20mode' rel='tag'> office compatibility mode </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/quickoffice' rel='tag'> quickoffice </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/sheets' rel='tag'> sheets </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/slides' rel='tag'> slides </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/suggested%20edits' rel='tag'> suggested edits </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/work' rel='tag'> work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8938474379585346271' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2014/12/docs-holiday-tips-2015.html' itemprop='url' title='Now, Docs!

It not only keeps all of your lesson plans, activities, and research organized, but it's an outstanding way to engage your students, give them feedback, and give their writing a real audience—like their peers or classrooms around the world.<br /> <br /> Here are 3 tips to help teachers prepare for going back to school with <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hQcYHNW-NJsuGShapGzOovjXURs4VDP9vUZPuI2VKgk/edit" target="_blank">Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms</a>.  <br /> <br /> <b>1. Use Slides to get to know your students </b><br /> A great first-week introductory activity is to create a single slide deck, and then invite each of your students to share a bit about themselves on their own personal slide. It’s a fantastic get-to-know-you activity for the first week of school and you’ll be amazed by the creativity that comes out of your students!  <br /> <br /> The screenshot below shows how Google Student Ambassadors from 9 different countries used <a href="//www.google.com/drive/apps.html#slides" target="_blank">Slides</a> to introduce themselves before gathering to meet each other at an event in Indonesia this summer.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-dlp636pJxhc/UhIvSUvvAVI/AAAAAAAAST8/zkLn5uTrMIo/s1600/teacher_blogpost_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-dlp636pJxhc/UhIvSUvvAVI/AAAAAAAAST8/zkLn5uTrMIo/s640/teacher_blogpost_1.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <br /> Want to get this going with your students?
