Chapter 4. Embedding Scripts in Text Documents

In the previous chapter, through the example of compiling the boss' e-mails, we learned that Google documents can have embedded scripts just like spreadsheets or forms do.

This example use case could well have been implemented in a spreadsheet and in some aspects, it probably would have been easier, but the reason was more an aesthetic choice; in spreadsheets there is an absence of grid and cell limitations and the ability to customize the appearance with styles and colors.

That is only a small example of what can be done in Google documents.
