The Google Docs suite is a surprisingly decent alternative to Microsoft Office and best of all, the software package is available free of charge, you only need to have a Google Account!

I’ve been a huge fan of Google Docs for a while, mainly because I like the interface but also due to the built-in collaboration tools as well as other features, some of which I will mention in this article.

The other day I found myself collaborating on a project using Google Docs and when I pointed out some of these features to the people I was working with, they were shocked that they didn’t know these before.

That’s why, I decided to share some of my favourite tips that have honestly made me more productive, so without any further ado…

1. Create New Documents Quickly Using The Address Bar

If you need to create a new document, there are two known ways of creating it. You can go into your Google Drive and browse to the folder you want to make the document in and press the “New” button or you can go to the docs.google.com website and create a new document from there.
