Easily Convert Word Documents to Google Docs Using Save as (Leanne Sanders)

Using SAVE AS to Convert Word Documents to Google Docs

There is a Save As type that saves a Word document in a Google doc format. Thus, you do not need to retype or even copy and paste previous Word documents  into Google Docs. Follow the steps below to perform the Save As:

1. Go to File Tab in your Word document
2. Click Save As
3. In the Save As drop down box look for the Open Document Text format (.odt).
4. Click Save
5. Go into your Google Docs
6. Click on the Open File Picker icon (looks like a manila folder)
7. Click Upload
8. Find the saved .odt file
9. Click Open
10. Click Open again to exit the Upload screen.

Be aware that some of the formatting might be different but overall look similar. Hopefully, this helps some of you.
