Let’s say you’re a teacher, and you want to visually identify students that scored 75 or below on a test. I created an example data set that represents a traditional classroom with test scores (and in the process, I also learned about the random number generators in the function list). If you’re working with numerical data or dates, coloring cells can help you quickly distill and comprehend large datasets. Yet for some reason, very few people know about this feature when I tell them. Maybe you’re not surprised that spreadsheets in Google Docs are capable of coloring cells based on conditional formatting. Use conditional formatting to color spreadsheets. I only use TOCs for creating outlines and not scripting videos. Note: This probably won’t work properly if you use the header hack in tip 4 to format inline text. Then, go to the Insert menu and click Table of contents to add a TOC. In a document with several headings, place your insertion point at the top of the document. This TOC allows you to jump to any part of the document, making navigation quick and easy for long documents. Fortunately, if you structure your document using the various header levels in the Title menu, Google Docs can automatically generate a table of contents for you.

Note: This will only apply to one document at a time, so don’t worry about ‘messing up’ the default styles for other documents or other people in your organization.

Then, when you need to apply the same formatting, you can simply set the text to one of the title styles in the menu as you would normally.

Then go to the Title menu, click one of the right facing arrows next to a header, and select Update ‘heading X’ to match with X being the header number. To create a new header style, simply format your text how you’d like and highlight it. For example, I use the special headings to highlight parts of Treehouse video scripts that include motion graphics, special camera moves, blocking, and computer code. The default headings are good for most purposes, but if you frequently need to apply special formatting, you can make your own “headings” and apply them to any inline text. When you’re editing a Google document, it’s helpful to create headings so that each section of your writing is clearly defined. Hack the custom header styles to quickly add formatting.
