This week in Docs: Page numbers in documents and one click to Google Cloud Print
Tuesday, August 30, 2011
This week in Docs, we’re announcing page numbers and page count in documents, plus one click to Google Cloud Print -- a couple features that we hope will save you time and energy.
Page numbers and page count in documents
Today we’re making it possible to add page numbers and page count to your documents. You can use the
Insert > Page number
option to add page numbers to the header or footer of your documents.
We’ve also added the option to insert page count, which displays the total number of pages in your document. You can combine the page number and the page count to create more advanced headers and footers. For example, to create the “Page 3 of 15” header below, take the following steps:
Go to
Insert > Header
.
Click the right align icon in the toolbar to move the cursor to the upper right corner.
Type the word “Page”.
Go to
Insert > Page number > Top of page
to add page numbers to the headers of your document.
Type the word “of”.
Go to
Insert > Page count
to add the total number of pages to the headers of your document.
Print with Google Cloud Print in just one click
Earlier this year, we announced
Google Cloud Print for mobile documents
. Google Cloud Print is a service in Beta that allows printing from any app on any device, OS or browser without the need to install any software.
We’re making it easier to print on the go directly from your mobile documents list in Google Docs. Simply select a document from the documents list and click on
Actions > Print
from the bottom toolbar. Currently, you can use Cloud Print in Google documents and spreadsheets.
To get started, you’ll need to
connect your printer
to Google Cloud Print. To learn more, check out the
new site
.
We hope you’ll take advantage of these latest features. Stay tuned for the next This Week in Docs.
