Thanks for explaining.
I use the Google Docs on a regular basis but didn’t know about the “WordPress.com for Google Docs” add-on.
I think I must give it a try.
Thanks.
Hy Sanjeev Sir,
To be honest, i didn’t know about docs, i usually write post on WordPress and save it in draft but your idea about using Google Docs is really interesting.
I think I would give Text Cleaner a try, it would be much more easier to format.
Thanks for sharing…
Have a Great Day… ๐
Cheers..!!
Hey Sanjeev,

I think I would give Text Cleaner a try, it would be much more easier to format.
Thanks for sharing
Have a good one. ๐
Hi Bhawna,
Ya, text cleaner can make it life easy, not sure how much it can help in Google Sheets. Might be useful if you have columns with good size text. Give it a try and let us know.
