Before you choose your template
Creating documents and presentations in Google Docs is simple, and the tools are easy to use. But you still need a creative vision to turn text into eye-grabbing documents. If you are unsure where to start, Google Docs has many built-in templates you can use.
Whether you want to make an impact with a new resume, need to send a professional letter or a business proposal, Google Docs has your back. When you log in to your Google account and go to Google Docs, you’ll first see some of your previous documents.
At the top, you have the option to create a blank document or use one of the templates displayed to get started. But if you want to do something different, simply click on Template Gallery in the top right. This will show you all the available templates, neatly organized by type.
