Using Google Docs on a Mobile Device

  • The Google Docs mobile app is pretty different from the desktop browser version. We'll show you how to get around in the app and find some of the "hidden" features like word count, page setup, and offline mode.
    We're also going to look at some of the differences and limitations of the mobile app. While you can edit any Google Doc using the app, it may look a bit different from the browser-based version. This can make editing more difficult with more complex documents. But it's still possible to make minor edits and view documents on the go.
    For more information, check out our text-based lesson: edu.gcfglobal....

    One of my proofreaders works on my docs from the mobile app. Apparently, it is impossible to add comments and to propose modifications with it, that makes the mobile app abolutely worthless for novel writing.

    I have Google Docs on an Android device. While watching this video, I seen that there are more options available to you (the person who was using Google Docs) than there are for me.
    I had some questions but I notice that most of the videos I've seen about Google Docs have more options available to the user than what I have on the device that I use. The document I created is a table per page with various cells (rows and columns that contain text and bullets that were/are formatted to each cell/column that I choose).

      There are many. You can have arrow marks and square and star and Roman signs etc.
      Click on the "A" symbol at the top next to the "+" sign and go to "Paragraph" and then in the 3rd line you can see bullet sign, press the ">" next to it. You can find many options there.

      You may try the following steps:
      1. In Google Docs, tap More and then turn on Print Layout.
      2. Tap the image you want to adjust.
      You can adjust the size of an image or rotate it:
      Resize: Touch and drag the squares along the edges.
      Rotate: Touch and drag the circle attached to the image.
