Google Docs Questions

I would like to share questions that I am asked during this course that may be helpful to others in the class.

Question: When I save my resume as a pdf file the formatting (indentations) changed. Is there a way to keep it the same as it is in Google Docs?

Answer: I did a little searching about creating pdf's using GoogleDocs and it appears to be problematic. (see the two articles below)

You may want to create the pdf using Word if you have Adobe Writer (you can download a free version for 30 days) or using a free on-line program such as Cute pdf http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/Writer.asp or any of the other programs offered on-line.

Question: I was wondering if my friends should be editing my resume.

Answer: The requirement reads... "c.Invite some trusted peers to help you edit/give feedback to your document (grant editing permission for collaboration).". If you are uncomfortable with other people viewing your resume, you do not need to complete this part of the activity. You should be familiar with granting editing permission and viewing other viewers comments.

Question: Is there a way to see where page breaks are in Google Docs?

Answer: In the Print Preview, you are able to see where the page ends and the next page begins. If you want to control where the page break is located, you will need to insert a Page Break under the Insert menu.
