How to Use Google Docs Review Mode

Google Docs Home Page

The biggest advantage of Google Docs is that several people can edit a document at once without ever having to save. You can write and re-write each other’s text without any hassle. However, what if you want to discuss edits with your co-writers before making them? You can accomplish this by using the Google Docs review mode, which is called Suggesting. In this mode, all edits are shown in color, and boxes appear in the margins, detailing the proposed changes. Other editors can comment in the boxes to decide whether to accept or reject the edits. Read on to find out more about using Suggesting mode with the documents you create in Google Docs.

How to Create a Google Photos Story

One unique feature of Google Photos is the ability to create Stories, which are like guided albums with an aesthetic flow. A Google Photos Story is a great medium for sharing photos of your vacation, an event, or the evolution of your business. They feel much more personal that your standard photo album.

Stories can only be created on the Google Photos app, but they can be viewed and edited on either the app or photos.google.com. Whip out your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, and let’s get started.

You can easily make gifs or animations with Google Photos. In fact, Google Photos will occasionally make them for you using a series of similar photos.

How to Fix Windows 7 Quote Key Problem

Keyboard Language

I have spent the last several years being perpetually perplexed by the keyboard of my Windows 7 laptop. Whenever I press the single quote (‘) or double quote (“) keys on my keyboard, they do not show up until I type the next character. If the next character happens to be a vowel, it produces an accented character not commonly used in English. This has resulted in quite a bit of unnecessary frustration as I wrestle with my computer while trying to crank out essays and articles.

It turns out that this issue is caused by the Regional Language being set to US English International instead of US. This could be the case even if you have no memory of ever selecting a keyboard language. Fortunately, it only takes a few minutes to change your keyboard settings, and the problem will be fixed for good. Make sure to restart your computer after making the changes outlined below for the fix to take effect.
