#GoogleDocs provides its user with default settings which are applied to every new document you create. Considerably these settings include font style, text color, line breaks and much more. Although you can change these settings at any point of time while creating your document, if you have some preferred settings which you have to apply whenever you create a new document manually, it can become quite a time consuming and monotonous task. In such a situation, what you can do is change the default settings of Google Docs to your preferred settings and make them applicable every time you create a new document.  By doing this, you can get rid of changing the settings like font style, background color or font size to your preferred ones, which can save a lot of your time and energy for accomplishing your project. It could be possible that after changing your default settings, you might want to alter some text or change the font style; well you don’t need to panic due to such situations as you can adjust any required settings at any point of time even after changing the default settings.
