How do I create a survey in Google docs?
Q. For my project in my experimental psychology class, I need to conduct a survey in the experiment. How do I set up a survey in Google Docs so I can have the participants fill out the form and the data to be collected in an excel file for data analysis and assessment. Then I have to give the link out to the participants. I could use survey monkey or similar site but I don't want to set up another account for that. I have seen it done in Google Docs.

A. Go to Google Docs.
https://docs.google.com/#all

Click on the "Create" button.
Click on "Form".

A New Form will be created.
Give it a Name (and a description, if needed).

Modify/Add your questions.
(You can change the theme too.)

When you are done, click on the "More Actions" button.
Then click on "Edit Confirmation".
Modify if you want to.

Click on the "Save" button.

At the bottom of your browser window, you will see this:
"You can view the published form here: https:// docs.google.com/ spreadsheet/ viewform? formkey= raNdOmLEttErS&NumB3rS"
That is a link to your form.
You can give that to people.

If you want to embed the form, click on the "More Actions" button.
Then click on "Embed".

Otherwise, click on the "Email this Form" button.
You can choose to embed the form in the email.
(Note: The form theme may not display in the email.)

To see the results, go to https://docs.google.com/#all and click on your spreadsheet that matches your Form name.

In the Sheet Menu Bar (at the top), you will see a "Form" button.
Click it for function related to your form, including editing.

Click on "Form", and then on "Show Summary of Responses" for a summary, a pie-chart, and a graph of the responses.

How to export spreadsheets in Google Docs?
Q. I don't know how to use Google Docs with uploading a spreadsheet. Is there an official URL I can make through Google Docs so I can link to the spreadsheet? Because when I exported the document, after a few minutes it went blank.

:) good luck

How do you turn off highlighted text in Google docs?
Q. I originally created some documents in Google docs. When I was ready to move them to word i tried to remove some highlighting off some text and it did not work. I can't get it off in Word either.

A. How did the highlighted text get there in the first place? Did you put the background color for the text? If you did, highlight them with white then it should be fine.

If you have just paste the text from somewhere else, and you don't care losing Bold fonts, or italicized ones, or any sort of formatting and you are fine with a plain text, then you can copy the text first from a web page or from your Google Docs, and then paste it in Notepad. Once it is pasted in Notepad, copy the text from there and paste it back to Google Docs.
