How can I retain formatting in Google Docs?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:No answers yet. I think that says something about Google Docs. And preserving formats between different programs in general. When I need professional looking results, I stick to Word. I use Google docs only for plain text documents. A few ideas: 1) Lose the Word formatting. Select all. From the Google Docs menu choose Format->Clear Formatting. Then fix everything with Google Docs formatting. But I think even after that the formatting is kinda rough. 2) Use a free Word-equivalent word processor. Open Office is the most popular. 3) Download the trial version of MS Office. It’s free for (I think) 60 days. 4) Borrow a computer with Word
