Park some Themes at Google

Google Documents just got more teeth — the introduction of themes makes creating a document online even easier.

I’m a big fan of Google Documents, maybe too big a fan as I have several older documents that I need to purge. But, there have been times I wish I had a template – in particular when I’m without laptop and staying with someone who has an outdated computer system. Such was the case this summer when my wife asked me to make a  ‘nice’ gift certificate for my brother-in-law while we were visiting my parents; I inwardly groaned. But, Google Doc Themes to the rescue. I did a search for templates and was pointed towards the themes. I quickly found several certificates that could work as a starting ground. Similar to most Google Documents, it was easy to change the words, font, colors, positioning of everything. I quickly snagged the last magazine cover image and voila — several minutes work and I looked like a genius. And for those of you who don’t know the MoneySense magazine — well worth investing in, if you are Canadian.

For you savvy folks who can’t find your template or theme, make it – and share it with millions. Next time you enter your Google Documents section, you’ll see this option -> Personally, I think I need to add some behavioural modification checklists for my two active children.
