    Could you show us examples of what "Keep with next", "Keep lines together", and "Prevent single lines" formats do? I don't fully comprehend it. Thanks!

    Thanks for making this video. You covered some of the most important topics. I'd like to know how I can have a different header on every page. Example: Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 are the three headers I want.

    Thank you for this. I write in Google Docs for my job, but sometimes the sections I write get different margins and it just looks off. Now I fixed it so it looks more uniform and have an idea what to do if it ever happens again. Thanks again!

    I have an issue where some accidental movement of my fingers in the haptic pad of my Mac cause this weird change in the dimensions of my document. The menu looks tiny and cut-off and appearance of my document looks squeezed together on thinner page. I have been trying to use control + z and restore settings, but nothing is working.

    okay so i made 2 columns, and now i want a sentence to be in the center of the page ( as in the usual center alignment ) but the sentence is going in either of the columns instead of being at the center ( pls i hope u get what i mean, i'm sorry if the explanation is bad ) so any ways on how to do that?
    for ex :
    | | |
    | | |
    " :D "
    i want it to look like that. but instead, that smile ( or the sentence ) either ends up in the first column or the second. ( i'm sorry for my bad explanation oh my god- )

    I have to edit a google doc which has had multiple editors. It's a mess. Various indents. And it's a ibe hundred page doc. First line and left indent are all different. Editing each line will of 100 pgs will take forever. So how can I unify all of them at once to clean this up? Thanks.

    Hi, do you know if and how you can make columns in the header? Or if you wanted 2 text boxes where each text box is left aligned on the left box and right aligned on the right box?

    • @ProlificOaktree

      You can double-click at the top of the document and then do Insert Table and that could be what you want.

    When I copy text from other source and paste in Docs, all the lines break & distort (words 1 below the other) and I have to manually merge them into I single line. Please tell how to merge / join multiple lines into single line.

    • @ProlificOaktree
      @ProlificOaktree  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would be different for every source. One thing to try however would be to copy it into a plain text editor first like Notepad, fix it their, then paste it in.

    When I copy and paste from a pdf it is keeping the pdf's layout so I have 2-word lines for example but I want all the text to align the way I have it in my google doc as a normal justified paragraph. How do I do that? That's what I'm searching for, thanks.

    • @ProlificOaktree

      Try pasting the text into Notepad first. That may strip away some of the stuff you don't want.

      My guess is that you're printing through your browser's print feature instead of Google Docs. Go to File, then Print.

      I should align itself it you use the bulleted list option from the menu and only hit enter once between each line.
