Google has added a new automatic line numbers feature to Google Docs that causes paged documents to automatically show line numbers. Along with additional formatting control changes and content organization refinements, the tech giant recently blogged about this update.
Line numbers are now calculated automatically and shown next to each line in the document using the new functionality. Users have the option to set line numbers for the whole document, a single page, or a specific portion. Additionally, while printing the paper, these line numbers are still discernible.
Use these procedures to add line numbers to a Google Doc: After finishing writing your article, pick “Line Numbers” from the “Tools” menu, then click “Show line numbers.” The line numbering settings may be changed, and you can specify where in the document you want the numbers to appear.
The business claims that the inclusion of line numbers would enhance users’ referencing and collaboration experiences, particularly when dealing with lengthy or complex content. During collaborative editing, it enables users to quickly pinpoint certain content positions and communicate with others.
To ensure broad accessibility, the service is presently being rolled out to all users of Google Workspace and personal Google Accounts. It is noteworthy that this new option has no administrative controls, making it easily accessible to all users.
In the ‘Image choices’ sidebar for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings, Google this week added the ‘Alt text’ option, allowing users to add alternate text to photos for better accessibility.
In order to improve user convenience, the tech giant updated the “first open experience” in Google Docs on Android smartphones earlier this month. The program now launches in edit mode. By adding pages and page breaks in the app, Google made “paginated mode” the default setting on Docs for Android in June, improving the visual consistency between the web and mobile versions.
