On the Sign In page, enter your existing Martinez Unified user name and password (the same ones that you use to login to your computer), and then click Sign In: Important: You can also login by going to gmail.com, but if you do so, you must use your entire email address (i.e.; [email protected]) instead of just your username (i.e.; meissler) 3. If this is your first time logging in, follow the on-screen instructions to activate your account. Your Gmail Inbox appears. For example: Page 4 To read a message: Click it to open it: Page 5 Common Mail Tasks Composing Email To compose a new message: Click Compose mail: Click Compose Mail. Gmail replaces your Inbox with a form for composing your message. Shift-click Compose Mail to author your message in a new browser window (so you can keep an eye on your Inbox at the same time). Address the message Start typing the first few letters of a recipient’s name. Then select the address you want from the directory or list of recent correspondents that appears. Adding a CC or BCC recipient Add CC or BCC If you want to include Carbon Copy recipients click Add CC, for Blind Carbon Copy click Add Bcc. Checking Spelling Check spelling after composing Compose your message first. Then click Check Spelling to highlight and correct possible misspellings. Page 6 Replying and Forwarding Reply to a message in a conversation Open the conversation and expand the message within it that you want to reply to. Expand the message, first Reply to a message in a conversation by expanding the message and choosing a reply option inside the message. Note that you’re replying only to senders or recipients of that message, not to other participants in the conversation. If a message includes quotes from previous replies, Gmail hides the quotes from view. Click Show quoted text to view all the text to be included with your reply. Click Reply to reply only to the sender. Click Reply to all to include everyone who received this message. Who sees your reply? Before sending a reply, you can verify the recipients by checking the email addresses in the To: and Cc: fields. If a participant’s address isn’t there, he or she won’t see your response. This example shows that only Quinn Quails and Ryan Rivers will see this reply in their conversation stack. Forward a message in a conversation If the message you want to forward is within a conversation, first expand the message. If a message includes quotes from previous replies, Gmail hides the quotes from view. Click Show quoted text to view all the text to be forwarded. Click Forward, inside the message, to send the message to someone who’s not in the current conversation thread. Page 7 Forward an entire conversation You can’t attach email messages to a message in Gmail (as you can in Outlook). But you can send someone all messages in a conversation thread by forwarding the entire conversation. Open the More menu and click Forward all. Recipients of a forwarded conversation receive a single message that contains all replies from the original conversation.

This means all the things they are capable of doing, you can do “on the go.” You don’t need to pre-plan anything and you don’t need to be at home to take advantage of the help an app can provide. This guide covers the Google Calendar app, a free, pre- loaded app for Android Phones. Calendar is available for use with no set up and no fees to purchase or use. The Calendar app has many advantages over traditional paper calendars. Some functions can be done by voice, instead of by hand. Calendar appointments can be made to repeat daily, weekly, monthly or annually when you do the first entry – a big convenience for items that recur regularly. You can even ask Calendar to remind you before an appointment so you don’t forget. Calendar can also send invitations to other people to join you at particular events or appointments, complete with the location.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Google Sheets Everything You Need to Build Powerful Spreadsheet Workflows in Google Sheets
    The Ultimate Guide to Google Sheets Everything you need to build powerful spreadsheet workflows in Google Sheets. Zapier © 2016 Zapier Inc. Tweet This Book! Please help Zapier by spreading the word about this book on Twitter! The suggested tweet for this book is: Learn everything you need to become a spreadsheet expert with @zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Google Sheets: http://zpr.io/uBw4 It’s easy enough to list your expenses in a spreadsheet, use =sum(A1:A20) to see how much you spent, and add a graph to compare your expenses. It’s also easy to use a spreadsheet to deeply analyze your numbers, assist in research, and automate your work—but it seems a lot more tricky. Google Sheets, the free spreadsheet companion app to Google Docs, is a great tool to start out with spreadsheets. It’s free, easy to use, comes packed with hundreds of functions and the core tools you need, and lets you share spreadsheets and collaborate on them with others. But where do you start if you’ve never used a spreadsheet—or if you’re a spreadsheet professional, where do you dig in to create advanced workflows and build macros to automate your work? Here’s the guide for you. We’ll take you from beginner to expert, show you how to get started with spreadsheets, create advanced spreadsheet-powered dashboard, use spreadsheets for more than numbers, build powerful macros to automate your work, and more. You’ll also find tutorials on Google Sheets’ unique features that are only possible in an online spreadsheet, like built-in forms and survey tools and add-ons that can pull in research from the web or send emails right from your spreadsheet.
