Save your GMail to Google Docs

How many times have you wanted to turn your email into a document, letter, or invoice?  Probably enough times to warrant turning on the “Create a Document” “Labs” feature in your GMail account.

Here is how…in glorious Technocolor pictures.

Scroll down to find “Create a Document,” which for me was near the bottom.

Very important, be sure to scroll down further to save changes.

Now when you read your email, to the right of the message will be the following option.

 

If you have used Google Docs in the past, the new document based on your email will be opened right up.  If you have not used Google Docs, there will be a couple more steps to enable this ability.

Although I will not use this on a daily basis, a quick way to generate a new document, or preserve an email as a .doc can come in handy.
