<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nGet Started With Canva Docs\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Canva Docs is free to use, just like Canva\u2019s other design tools. There are; however, certain features that are only available with Canva Pro like premium templates, photos, videos, and similar elements.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can head directly to the Canva Docs website<\/a> and select Create a Doc<\/span> to get started.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Alternatively, visit the Canva homepage<\/a> and choose Docs<\/span> at the top below the search box and then Doc<\/span> below Start Writing. Notice that you can also choose Docs to Decks<\/span> which allows you to create document content and transform it into a presentation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Sign into your Canva account when prompted and then get to work on your document.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, you can get a jumpstart on your project with a template. Canva Docs offers tons of options for many personal and business documents.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select Templates<\/span> on the left side. You can then choose See all<\/span> next to Doc Templates to view the entire gallery or browse the single-page themed headings beneath. You can also use the categories at the top or the Search<\/span> box for a specific template.\n<\/p>\n\n\n If you see a template or header you want to use, simply select it to apply it to your document on the right. \n<\/p>\n\n\n Whether you start with a template or from scratch, you can use the same customization options for your Canva Doc. Insert elements like tables, charts, or graphics, upload your own images or videos, and customize the text with styles, colors, formats or lists.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have two ways to insert items in your document. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n One way is to use the sidebar on the left. Select Elements<\/span> to add a table, chart, graphic, photo, or video or Uploads<\/span> to use an image or video from your device or social media account. Either choose the item or use drag-and-drop to place it in your document.\n<\/p>\n\n\n The second way to add elements is using the Add Magic<\/span> icon (plus sign) directly on the document.\n<\/p>\n\n\n When you select that icon, you\u2019ll see a list of elements and text formatting tools you can use. If you have Canva Pro, you can take advantage of Magic Write, Canva\u2019s AI writing tool.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Once you insert the item you want, you can customize it. Depending on the element you\u2019re using, you have different options. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n To insert text, select the Add Magic<\/span> icon and choose a heading, subheading, or body text. You can also insert a checklist, bulleted list, or numbered list.\n<\/p>\n\n\n To customize the text, select it and use the options in the toolbar at the top for the font style, size, color, format, spacing, and alignment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n To insert a basic table with a specific number of columns and rows, select the Add Magic<\/span> icon, choose Table<\/span>, and use the grid to create the table.\n<\/p>\n\n\n To insert a preformatted table, select Elements<\/span> > Tables<\/span> > See all<\/span> in the sidebar. Then, choose one of the options.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Once you insert your table, you can add your items to the cells as you would with a table in Google Docs<\/a> or Microsoft Word. You can also add or remove rows and columns, merge cells, and move rows and columns.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re creating a company report or business proposal, you may want to add a chart to your document. You can insert a bar, column, line, line and dot, interactive, or pie chart.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n To insert a basic pie, bar, or line chart, select the Add Magic<\/span> icon and choose the chart you want.\n<\/p>\n\n\n To insert a different chart or style, select Elements<\/span> > Charts<\/span> > See all<\/span> in the sidebar. Then, choose one of the options.\n<\/p>\n\n\n Once you insert the chart, you can add the data, adjust the settings, and customize it. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re working on a document for school or creating an article, you may need to see the word count or read time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select the Insights<\/span> button (graph) on the top right. You\u2019ll then see your document statistics on the Overview<\/span> tab.\n<\/p>\n\n\n If you have Canva Pro, you can also use the Views, Engagements, and Collaboration tabs and features.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip<\/span>: Wondering if you should subscribe to Canva Pro? Check out our article to see if Canva Pro is worth the price<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like other Canva creations, you can share a Canva Doc with team members or coworkers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select Share<\/span> on the top right. You can then add people, copy a link, or get the embed code. You can also choose Download<\/span> to save your document as a PDF.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nUse a Canva Docs Template\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
