Googleis working on a new update for itsoffice softwarethat will make formatting documents inGoogle Docseven easier on mobile.
Last year the search giant added the ability toadd a page break before paragraphsin Google Docs on the web and according to anew postin theGoogle Workspaceblog, this same functionality is now rolling out to smartphones.
This feature is particularly useful for journalists and other writers that want certain paragraph styles to always create a new page such as titles, subtitles or headings.
Page breaks before paragraphs on mobile
Just like in Google Docs on the web, users will now be able to mark paragraphs to always begin on a new page with the new “Add page break before” option.
In addition to helping keep your formatting the same throughout a document, this feature will also allow users to import and exportMicrosoft Wordand other third-party documents that have “Page break before” applied to paragraphs and Google Docs will retain that formatting.
While the ability to add page breaks before paragraphs is now rolling out to Google Docs users, it could take up to 7 days onAndroidand up to 15 days oniOSbefore it becomes available. Once it does though, a new formatting menu will appear at the bottom of your screen that will make it much easier to configure the style of your documents on the go.
