P.S.: Almost forgot to share a super useful tip for every Google Docs user: when you copy and paste text from another source it is always copied with a font size, colors and other formatting things. The solution is simple! Just select this snippet and press "WinKey+ \" on your keybord (or  "CMD + \" if you are on Mac OS) and the selected text will be cleaned up from formatting! Hooray!
