What is the Google Docs Reference & Cheat Sheet?

If you use Google Docs in the office, at school, or at home, you know how difficult it can be to use unfamiliar features and figure out what all of the buttons on the toolbar are for. Or, maybe you have a new Chromebook and want a quick reference to turn to as you create documents and collaborate with other people online.

This inexpensive desktop reference for Google Docs makes it easy to find the information you need, from an annotated list of toolbar formatting buttons and the main index screen, to quick instructions for inserting images, page numbers, and references.

The cheat sheet also contains a list of keyboard shortcuts, which can save you lots of time as you're preparing a document. Instead of using your mouse or trackpad to hunt around for a button in the toolbar or file menus, you can press two or three keys simultaneously to perform the same function! The list of shortcuts includes everything from moving quickly around the document to formatting and collaboration.

This handy reference and cheat sheet applies to Google Docs, a free online software application that is part of G Suite from Google. through a web browser.
