Hi Geoffrey Love,

There are no native timer/stopwatch tools that can be started and stopped so as to time how long was spent typing a paragraph. However you might be able to find a timer/stopwatch Docs add-on or Chrome extension.

Using the native features of Docs, you may be able to deduce the time it took to write a paragraph by checking the version history and calculating the times between when the paragraph did and did not exist.

Hi Mr Shane. Many thanks for your responses. A related question is that when I type an original paragraph in an existing document and make corrections as I type those changes have not been making edit history entries that i can see. However, if I go back to a section of the document that I work on previously and make changes those are reported as edit history changes, is that correct? Many thanks Geoff
