 * Copy a Google doc into Microsoft Word **

.


 * Method 1 - Simple Copy and Paste**

This method is similar to how you copy text from one Microsoft Word document to another.

First go to the Google document and then select the text and images you want to copy from the Google doc. To select the entire document, press the **Ctrl + A** keys on your keyboard. Next, press the **Ctrl + C** keys to copy the selected text. To paste the text in Microsoft Word, launch Microsoft Word and then press **Ctrl + V** to paste the copied text into the Microsoft Word document.

Caution: Do not use the built-in **Edit>Copy** command in Google Docs. You will most probably get an error, similar to the one shown below.




 * Method 2 - Save as .doc**

After you have created the document by using Google docs, you can save the file in Microsoft Word format and then open it by using Microsoft Word. How to do this:-

1. Click the **File** menu in Google docs.

2. Click **Download as** and then click **Word**, as shown below.



3. The **Opening** dialog box appears, as shown below. In this dialog box, select:


 * Open with:** To open the Google document using Microsoft Word.


 * Save File:** To save the Google document in .doc format. The file will be saved in your local hard drive and you can open it using Microsoft Word.



4. Click the **OK** button.

You will notice that the second method is very similar to using the Save as command in Microsoft Word. The only difference being that Google Docs calls it Download as.
