Description

To start, you need a document to work with.

1. Create a new document

Choose an option:

  • In Docs, scroll down and click Create new document .
  • In Drive, click New > Google Docs > Blank document or From a template.

2. Import and convert old documents to Docs

Import and convert old documents to Google Docs

If you have existing text documents, such as Microsoft® Word® or Adobe® PDF files, you can import and convert them to Docs.

  1. Go to Drive.
  2. Click New > File Upload and choose a text document from your computer. Supported files include .doc, .docx, .dot, .html, plain text (.txt), .odt, and .rtf.
  3. Right-click the file you want to convert and select Open with > Google Docs.

Converting your document from another program creates a copy of your original file in Docs format. You can then edit it in your browser like any other document.

Have a Word document?

If you've already stored Microsoft Word documents in Drive, you can also update them without converting to Docs.
