Ian Davey, from Ogden School District, presented a Demo Slam at UCET in March of 2022.  He showed a new feature in Google Docs that allows you to make your Google Docs pageless with a clean screen friendly look made for the web! 

Google Docs New Feature: Pageless

Google Docs Team
February 2022

We're excited to announce a new feature on Google Docs: Pageless!

You can now experience a new way to work with documents that is built for the screen! Pageless format allows you to remove the boundaries of a page to create an infinite surface to work on. 

In this setting, there are no page breaks, images adjust to your screen size, and wide tables are viewable by scrolling left and right. Line breaks for text will adjust to screen size and as you zoom in and out. 

Within a document, navigate to File > Page setup to switch between pages (the default format) and pageless (the new format). Changes to this setting are document-specific: everyone who interacts with your document will see it, but changing the setting for one document won’t impact other documents you own. 

For pageless documents, you can choose a personal custom text width of narrow, medium, or wide. This setting will apply to all pageless documents you view, but won’t affect what other users see. The default setting is narrow text width, and you can change it by navigating to View > Text width while on a pageless document.

Some features are not available on pageless docs: columns, page numbers, headers and footers, page breaks, etc. If your document contains elements like footnotes, headers and footers, or watermarks, and it is converted to pageless, those elements will not be visible. To view the content again, switch the document setup back to pages.
