Creating a Document

Google uses the term document to refer specifically to a word processing document, as compared to a spreadsheet. Begin a new document by clicking the New Document link at the top of the Google Docs Web page, or when you are currently editing a document, select New from the File menu. Doing either of these launches a new, empty document.

Note 

You may have more than one document open at the same time.

When you first launch the document, a new browser window opens. The document is given the temporary name of “untitled”, which appears in the upper-left corner. As soon as a draft of the document is auto-saved by Google, it is given the temporary name of the first text you’ve typed into the document. Changing that text will not change the temporary name with the next auto-save. To rename the document you must manually choose Rename from the File menu.
