NEW! Google Docs Pageless Format

In the latest Google Workspace update, Google has introduced the 'pageless' format in Google Docs. A pageless format means that your document will not have any pagebreaks, which allows for more flexibility in the creation of your document. This is a great option to use if you know that your doucment will be used for digital purposes only.

When your document is in the "pageless" format, any images or charts that you insert will now have scroll bars to ensure that it fits onto the document

Here is how you change your document settings to make it pageless.

1. From the top menu, click on File and then Page Setup

2. You will now see an option to select a Pageless format

3. You may also change the background color and select if you want the "pageless" mode to be your default, which means that any new documents created will be in the "pageless" format.

Once you are ready, press "Ok".

More information on the new "pageless" Google Docs format can be found here.
