Although forms are part of spreadsheets, you can also directly select the form type when creating a new doc. You can create a new form from your Docs list, from a spreadsheet or from a template.

Create a form from your Docs list:
  1. Click Create new > Form.
  2. In the form template that opens, you can add any questions and options you'd like.
Creating a form from a new or existing spreadsheet:
  1. Click the Tools drop-down menu and select Form then Create a form.

  2. If you already have names entered in the columns of the active sheet, the form will populate with those names as questions.
  3. In the form template that opens, you can add any questions and options you'd like.
Creating a form from a template:
  1. From your Docs list, click the Create new button and select From template.... From within an existing document, click the File menu and select New and then From template....
  2. Click Forms under 'Narrow by type,' on the left side of the page.
  3. Browse through the different options. Once you decide what template to use, click Use this template next to it.
Forms have the same limitations as spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet can have up to 20,000 cells with formulas. Of this total, the following limits apply:
  • Up to 1,000 GoogleFinance formulas
  • Up to 1,000 GoogleLookup formulas
  • Up to 50 Import formulas
