Google Docs is a powerful tool that you can use to edit text documents, spreadsheets or even presentations! But did you know you can also make forms for your own use, depending on what all questions or type of questions you want to have in your form! You can use this form to carry out surveys online or even use them as contact forms for your website. This feature is pretty easy to use and you do not need to know any coding skills or anything else for this! It is pretty simple drag and drop type of thing.

 

When you make a contact form with Google Docs, you can view the answers in various forms. The two main forms include the Spreadsheet and the Summary form! It will show you all the responses to your form in the form of a spreadsheet or even in the form of a summary! It is a really good tool to use for your online surveys and managing other forms online! And who other to trust on such a responsibility but Google!

Making a Form in Google Docs :

1. Go to Google Docs online portal by clicking here.


2. Then on the homepage, click on the create button on the left and choose Form.
   


3. A new page/tab will open up with a dummy form for you to edit according to your need. First, begin with providing a name in the field marked Untitled form. Next, give its description in the text box below it!
   


4.  Now, there will be two sample questions down there for you. You can delete them if you want and set up the form as per your own need or you can simply edit them! But I will prefer deleting them and making new questions! You can delete it by pressing the delete button on the right hand side of the question.


5. If you have deleted the questions, click on Add item on the top-right corner of the webpage and choose the type of question you want to ask.
   


6. Then, enter the question and fill in any other fields. The fields will depend on the type of item you insert into your form.
   


7. After you are done adding all the questions you want, simply click on Save on the top right corner of the webpage. Next, you need to copy the access link for your form. This can be found at the bottom of the webpage. It will look somewhat like this! You can also embed it into your webpage if you want. Have a look at point 9 on how to do that.
   


8. Now, when you are done with all the above steps, it is time to say the word about your form to the respective people and get their responses. When you receive some responses, you can view them by  clicking on your form on the Google Docs Homepage.
   


9. Now, if you want to embed it into your webpage, simply click on Form and then Edit form after you open the spreadsheet view.
   


10. Then, click on More actions on the top-right corner and  choose embed. You will be given a code to put up on your webpage so that you can embed the form easily!
