Kahl on Me - Pageless Google Docs

Pageless Google Docs

This is a feature that allows you to set up Google Docs to look more like a webpage instead of showing the page breaks and blank areas on all sides. This is a feature you would want to use if you are not planning on printing the page.

Pros of the pageless setup:

Allows you to use tables that extend as far as you want and you can scroll left and right to view it
Images resize to fit the screen of the user
Line breaks in the text will also adjust to the user
See more text at once
Pages flow easier
Students can't complain about the number of pages since there aren't any 😁

Cons/Things to be aware of with the pageless setup:

If your page includes headers, footers, watermarks, or footnotes and you switch the setup to pageless, those will not show up. They won't be lost though, you would just need to change the setup back to pages.
You cannot use columns, headers, footers, page numbers, or elements similar to those in this setup.

To Create a Pageless Google Doc:

Open a new or already created Doc - this example will involve using a new one.
Select "File" and then "Page setup"

3. Select "Pageless" in the window that pops up.

If you would like, you can change the background color to any color you would like, but this is not required. You can also set the pageless view to the default view, but that is a personal preference!

Changing the Text Width

You can change with text width on the pageless document. You can select narrow, medium or wide and that controls how wide the text will display on your screen.

This only changes the setting for you, others that also have access will not be affected by this choice.

Select "View" then "Text width" and from there you can select the width you prefer.
