you have the patience of a saint. i will never understand why samsung decided to reinvent the wheel, but take it back in time, ultimately taking away capabilities that we once had with microsoft word. i feel its safe to say that I will never get another one ever in life. This is just another example of what is 90 times easier in microsoft word than it is in google docs. Don't get me started on google slides vs ppt, and google sheets vs excel.
Thanks so much for this. I have tried other options like using a photo of a document as the background that students can type on top of.... so many issues with that! This should work beautifully! I surely do appreciate this.
Thank you so much Happy to help :) I'm currently in the process of making the one for inserting slides into the doc. We did post a video about inserting data tables and graphs into a google doc.
Thanks! When I make a 1x1 table so its just a cell students can enter long form answers into, the text extends out of the cell. How do keep the text within the cell?
very helpful, thank you. just wondering if you have yes and no answers how to make it checkmark, and also phone numbers and birthdays with auto dashes?
At this point in time I don't think that is possible. However if you move the boxes to fit the correct answers for the words it won't mess with your formatting and as long as you are either assigning the doc or force copy sharing then you will always have your original copy saved and unedited by students. I hope this helps!
When you click on share you can add their email and change the setting next to them from view to edit if they already have it shared with them still click on the share button on the doc you will see their email and change it from view to edit. Hope this helps thanks for reaching out!
@@RELenders Thank you. Ummm you could try using a google form which they could submit each question. Which it would allow them to answer one question at a time.
You could setup a google form to do that if you want it would take some time but it could work. If you are looking to try and make it not shift or move the doc then try making the table cell bigger it will allow better spacing and you can change its settings to wrap around text if you wanted
Thanks for this video. Another topic: a script would automatically save a copy for each student and email it accordingly. Can you show us how to add script of a "send button"?
Currently I don't know if you can. As with a google doc you can allow full editing or none. If there is an in-between when I learn it I will post a video.
To be honest I haven't messed around with it enough to know but I just showed what I had learned and what was working and going to improve and update as I go.
Great Question! Depending on how you are sending the doc out. You can have different answers, but if you are sending just one doc out you are go to file and version history it will show you who has typed what. Hope this helps I can make a video to show how it works.
I created a fillable form for our students to use if they need a waiver to schedule certain classes. I want to post the link to the document on our website to include it in our digital forms. Will the students be able to fill in the form by clicking on the link? Or will it have to be shared individually for them to be able to fill it in?
When you say form do you mean google form or did you make a form in a google doc? If its a google form you would just hit the share button and it will track the data for you as it is filled out and submitted, but if its a google doc there are a few steps you would have to take.
@@BK_Presentations Yes. We are currently starting to schedule students for classes next year and using digital docs. I want to add the waiver doc in our scheduling folder on the webpage for students who may need it. Would copying the link to the webpage work?
@@Michellew361 yes pasting the link would work, but does each student need there own copy because if you are posting it on a website you will want to maybe have it be made for a force copy and then have them share it with you
Hi there you may need to go into the settings of the document different schools can have different share setting just set it to that anyone with a link can edit. Hope this helps. If not please message me back so that I can further assist.

Thank you I try my best
Thank you! I have been trying to go digital with an estimate form for my business and this "fillable form" was the trick!
So happy it was able to help you !
I prefer Google over Word, so this was very helpful. Thanks!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Oh what a relief this is for me, a newbie to doing this! Thanks again for the great instruction.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much your comment means alot!
great video and instruction! very helpful and better than G Suite Add ons
Thank you so much it means a lot. Let me know if you have anything else you would like me to breakdown!
Thanks so much for this. I have tried other options like using a photo of a document as the background that students can type on top of.... so many issues with that! This should work beautifully! I surely do appreciate this.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy to help :)
@@BK_Presentations ME
Super helpful
This was awesome! I can tell you are a great teacher. 😃
Thank you I try my best.
InstaBlaster.
This was super helpful - thank you so much!
You are very welcome happy to help!
Wow, not that basic. I learned a lot today!!! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks - exactly what I was trying to figure out!
No problem happy to help is there any other videos you would like to see or anything you are trying to make?
Thank you for explaining this very clearly!
No problem happy it was helpful for you let me know if there are any other apps you would like a guide to.
Excellent work. Can I have difficulties doing this in google form
Do you lock the cell with QUESTION, so the kids can't edit the question?
Nice!
The students can still edit the question text though right?
Thank you sooo much! Excellent lesson.
Thank you so much for the feedback let me know if you need anything!
Awesome! This is exactly what I needed. Did you make the 2nd video?
Thank you so much Happy to help :) I'm currently in the process of making the one for inserting slides into the doc. We did post a video about inserting data tables and graphs into a google doc.
Informative stuff, thank you. But one issue though, the person can still edit the question.
Thank you so much for the response that's a great idea!
Thank you! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks! When I make a 1x1 table so its just a cell students can enter long form answers into, the text extends out of the cell. How do keep the text within the cell?
I like this is in my recommendation
Thank you
Now what if I wanted to link that to a Google form?
Need more information on how to share so folks can fill out the form.
what type of information are you looking for is it something you need to visually see in a video or can i help you here in chat?
very helpful, thank you. just wondering if you have yes and no answers how to make it checkmark, and also phone numbers and birthdays with auto dashes?
Thanks for the kind words I will take a look into this idea this week and get back to you !
Thank you!
and how can I do to restrict the editing of part of the text and leave only the field of responses editable?
At this point in time I don't think that is possible. However if you move the boxes to fit the correct answers for the words it won't mess with your formatting and as long as you are either assigning the doc or force copy sharing then you will always have your original copy saved and unedited by students. I hope this helps!
Thanks for the information. How do I change the doc from read-only so that the person I send it to can actually type in the box?
When you click on share you can add their email and change the setting next to them from view to edit if they already have it shared with them still click on the share button on the doc you will see their email and change it from view to edit. Hope this helps thanks for reaching out!
@@BK_Presentations Thank You
@@MartinPigg1 No problem happy to help!
Can the same be done on a Google Form?
Yes it can!
@@BK_Presentations thank you for that, is there a video in which you have taken this step by step?
hey bryan, just what i needed... but i think i'm missing something. how do they submit once the doc is complete? hope that makes sense
I see your question was answered if you need any help let me know!
Can you lock the boxes so when you hit tab to go to the next box it won't expand down?
No since it is a doc and they have edit rights. It won't let them just tab to the next one sadly.
@@BK_Presentations Thank you sir, you Rock - by the way is there another google platform that will allow me to what I am looking for?
@@RELenders Thank you. Ummm you could try using a google form which they could submit each question. Which it would allow them to answer one question at a time.

Thanks for this video. Another topic: a script would automatically save a copy for each student and email it accordingly. Can you show us how to add script of a "send button"?
Ill look into it when you say script do you mean like comments or something else like an email chain?
very helpful thanks.
Thank you for the feedback happy to help :)
How do you lock the cell with your question in it so the students cannot edit the text?
Currently I don't know if you can. As with a google doc you can allow full editing or none. If there is an in-between when I learn it I will post a video.
Thank you for sharing.
How do I do similar fillable, for a 12 page bulletin with headers? Help!
Would you be willing to share it with me and I could help you with it ?
awesome tutorial! I don't think you would need to change the box line to white...Couldn't you have NO BOX LINES?
To be honest I haven't messed around with it enough to know but I just showed what I had learned and what was working and going to improve and update as I go.
If i signed into my gmail to fill a form like that will the owner get my login credentials?
no and also it will tell you on the form if your email will show up on the sent info or not the program is very transparent which is nice
How can you lock the fillable boxes
what do you mean by lock ?
how we can know the response of person filling the form that you make?
Great Question! Depending on how you are sending the doc out. You can have different answers, but if you are sending just one doc out you are go to file and version history it will show you who has typed what. Hope this helps I can make a video to show how it works.
Make a copy for each student is available as an option when sending to students. But I do like the idea of you doing a force copy.
Thanks there are alot of little tricks I learn everyday, but the force copy was a really cool one haha
I created a fillable form for our students to use if they need a waiver to schedule certain classes. I want to post the link to the document on our website to include it in our digital forms.

@@BK_Presentations Sorry I meant a Google doc.
@@Michellew361 so its a fillable form made in google docs and you want a separate copy for each student?
@@BK_Presentations Yes. We are currently starting to schedule students for classes next year and using digital docs. I want to add the waiver doc in our scheduling folder on the webpage for students who may need it. Would copying the link to the webpage work?
@@Michellew361 yes pasting the link would work, but does each student need there own copy because if you are posting it on a website you will want to maybe have it be made for a force copy and then have them share it with you
I did this and email me a test after I make a copy ... but when I open my email so I can fill in the info nothing happens 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😫😫😫 help ....
Hi there you may need to go into the settings of the document different schools can have different share setting just set it to that anyone with a link can edit. Hope this helps. If not please message me back so that I can further assist.
Could you have just save it as a PDF file and have students open it with Kami and respond with text boxes on top of the blank lines?
That sounds like a great idea I don't know the answer for sure, but try it and let me know how it goes!
i cant do this
Which part is the first part you are getting stuck on I am willing to help any way I can
i am making a google doc for my military server
@@BK_Presentations which is when you do the other text because i am stuck
@@notspectacularsam10 you change it inside the text box that you create
