How To Convert Word Docs to Google Docs

I personally use Google Docs for more and more for my everyday work as well as personally.  The other day someone asked me to take a word doc and convert it to a Google Doc to share it.  One of the biggest pluses to using the Google Docs in my opinion is the ability to share and collaborate quickly and easily other people versus having to save a word doc, email it to someone and wait for them to email it back with changes.  Today I am going to show you just how to convert your word docs to Google docs.

The first thing that you are going to want to do click on the Google Drive icon on your Google Account.  Once you do, click on the “New” button and select “File Upload”.  Now look for the file you want to convert to a Google Doc.  Select the file and get ready to upload it.   Once your file is uploaded successfully it will give you a notification saying the upload was successful.

Next, click on the newly created Google Doc in your Google Drive and select the “Open in Google Docs” option to view the doc and you are done!  See wasn’t that easy or what?
