Creating a Document
To create a document that you can edit, share and download, follow these steps:
- In medportal, click your "google drive" icon
- In your Google drive main screen, click "New"
- From the dropdown list, select what type of document you want to create. The different types of documents are as follows:
- Document - This is a standard word processing document, similar to one you would create in Microsoft Word.
- Presentation - This is a presentation file that can include slides, pictures, text and other resources, as you would in Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Spreadsheet - This is a standard spreadsheet that you can input numbers and formulae in, as you would in Microsoft Excel.
- Form - This is a dynamically created web form that you can make and send out to others. The form will take in people's responses to your questions and compile the results in a spreadsheet named after the form. The utility is easy to use and dynamic, allowing you to create many different types of questions. The spreadsheet can also show you graphical data on your responses to date.
- Folder - A standard method of organization. This creates a folder in which you can save files for easier organization.
- You have now created a new Google drive and can begin working on it
Saving your file
Saving is easy and automatic in Google drive. Every so often, changes to your document will be auto-saved. If you want to force a save, rather than waiting for an automatic one, you can click the "Save" button at the top right (works only for documents and spreadsheets) or click "File" --> "Save".When you are finished working on your document and want to save your progress and close the file, you can click the "Save & Close" button, or click "File" -> "Save and Close"
