Get started with a template

All documents begin with a template—a model you can use as a starting point. You can create word-processing documents, like reports and letters, and page layout documents, like posters and newsletters. Simply replace the template text and images with your own content.

About word-processing and page layout documents

Let your text flow

Get creative with the way text flows through your document. Have an image? Wrap your text around it. Want text to flow in irregular columns or continue a sidebar onto another page? Link text boxes so the text flows from one box to the next.

Place objects with text

The Add People screen showing a picture of the document to be shared. Below it are buttons for ways to send the invitation, including Mail, a Copy Link, and More. At the bottom is the Share Options button.

Collaborate in real time
