Google Docs – Covert Document

How to Convert a Document (Word Document) to Google Docs.

One of the most useful aspects of Google Docs is its compatibility with Microsoft Word and other products. You can create a new Google Doc just by uploading a Word file.

Doing this involves three basic actions:

  1. Select File Upload in Google docs.
  2. Choose your Word doc.
  3. Open it in Google Drive (if you want to edit).

Download from PLP

Click on the assignment or file you need to view. This will download the file to your downloads folder.
