Getting started guide


You can change the font or the text size in your document from the toolbar or the 'Document styles' window. To change the spacing of the document, you'll need to open the 'Document styles' window.

From the Google Documents toolbar

To change the font or the text size quickly, select the text you'd like to change and click either the font menu, which lists Verdana, or the text-size drop-down menu, set to 10pt by default. Choose a new font or text size, and the changes are applied to the selected text.

From the 'Document styles' window

Click Format > Document settings... in the menu bar. A window appears.

Here's what you can do from this window:

  • Change the font and text size from the drop-down menus.
  • Change the spacing in between lines by selecting an option from the Line-space drop-down menu.
  • Preview your changes within the window.
  • Apply these changes to all your new documents.
