Google Docs does Columns! Finally!

It finally happened - Google Docs can now format columns.

Just highlight the text you want to format, click on Format > Columns and choose 2 or 3 columns.



And as you can see, it perfectly formats the text into columns.



AND - it handles Right-to-Left text beautifully as well, as you can see from the opening of the מסילת ישרים.



If we could just get Rashi font, I might be persuaded to give up Microsoft Word entirely. :-)

Training for Google Apps

Don't walk, RUN! Run to the Chrome store and install the extension for Training for Google Apps.

Have you ever been stymied, wondering how to do something in Gmail, or Google Classroom, or Docs, or Slides, or Sheets or Forms, to name a few? Did you know you can have a built-in tutorial that doesn't even require you to leave the browser window in which you are working?

Whenever you go into various Google Apps for Education, you will see this little symbol in the right-hand corner:


Click on it and a searchable menu will pop up.



There are lots of items to choose from, or you can search for help on a specific topic. When you choose an item, either a video window will overlay on the screen with a tutorial, or you will get actual prompts (like CLICK HERE) that walk you through the steps.


I've already learned how to do several things that I never thought possible in Google Docs! Give it a try today!
