You are absolutely amazing. I have a thesis due today and I was having a mental breakdown. This was straight to the point and showed us everything we need to know. I wish you a glorious life.
I've been working with Google Docs for years and didn't think this was possible. Thank you so much! And many, MANY thanks for a video that gets straight to the point. I've happily subscribed. Cheers!
I’ve been writing a book and Amazon KDP does not explain the instructions so well, and yet this guy explained a whole process under 5 minutes. Thank you!
cant explain to you how much i want to thank u ive been at this for hours watchin other yt vids and they just made it complicated and in the end not even working.
Thank you! I was trying and trying to get this to work and you explained it very well! You can start numbering on any page in your document with the method you describe.
Look look look I have struggled in my school project reports because I couldn't warp my head around how Google docs page number worked, but now I am saved for my final year reports. I use a Chromebook.
@@nurainnadia2183 Sorry, I don't understand what you said. I'm saying that this workaround works only if you want page numbers at the top of the page (as shown in the video). If you want page numbers at the bottom the workaround doesn't work.
For anyone else who was like, "wait, there's no show section breaks option!", turns out it was moved/combined into "show non-printing characters" on the same dropdown.
I have been wrestling with this for over a week. Thank you so much for making it make more sense to me! My only challenge is that after inserting the page break, how do I get rid of the blank sheet that comes before my Page where I begin numbering? I really did not understand what you meant by "dragging the text over the gap." That might be why I have the blank page. Can you please advise?
Yes Lydia, double click on the header or footer (where ever the page numbers are located) then click on the page number and click the right-justify button in the menu up top. The page number will move from left to right.
@@tigertips5309 I can't seem to find the justify menu pop up. If I click on the footer with the page number all I see is the pop up that is shown in your video
I have no clue what's wrong with my Google Drive but none of these options are in here. There's no show section break and there's no extra options for applying page numbers.
@@tigertips5309 I think I'm having the same problem. I'm unable to find how to remove the empty page created when clicking page break. You said you "bring the text over the gap" at 0:22, but how?
(:24) "..now we just bring the text over the gap"- you don't explain how to do that part... I can only assume you are hitting backspace. Nothing I do shows the blue line. What about footers?

Thanks John Daily, yes Google introduced the feature about a year ago. Was not always there.
Straight and to the point. Thanks man, you're a lifesaver 👍
Tried everything I could find on Google for over an hour. This was the only thing that actually worked. Thank you!!!!!
Glad you found solution SweetJohnnyCage

Honestly, thank you so much! This was the only video and instructions that made sense and actually worked on the first try!
Great stuff Rebecca. Glad to hear you are able to number from page 3 now.
For people who are wondering how to do the same with the footer: just remember to unclick "link to previous" in the footer as well :)
Thanks for providing this tip.
Ugh for some reason no matter what I do, the page numbers still apply to the first section, even when I follow all your steps.
Thank you! I was trying and trying to get this to work and you explained it very well! You can start numbering on any page in your document with the method you describe.
Thank you so much!!! This helped me a lot and was stressing about how to do it for class before watching this.
Glad you are now longer stressed Naomi.
thank you! other guides weren't showing it correctly except this one.

Thank you so much. It is helpful for excluding cover page and table of contents in a research paper/thesis.
Absolutely Eda, very good application of the functionality. Best of luck in your thesis.
You're the goat, thank you so much!
Thank you boss 😎. You almost saved my huge time🤓
If I choose "footer" instead of "header" it doesn't work and it adds number even to previous section. Any workaround?
it works but the page number is at the bottom of the page. after you click off the link to previous, at the numbering choose start at 1.

i just ignored that part. i just added a page break, removed the gap (command+delete), and then went back to the footer as shown in the vid
Thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!
THANK YOU!
Thank you!!! You’re such a time and life saver!
how do you remove the blue line afterwards?
Disable page breaks view in the view panel.
thanks man!
"Link to previous" doesn't appear. Did they just break this within the last week?
How do you get the text back up after you do the section break ?
Is there any option to change the number to the upper right and decrease the font size? I can not find the option.
How do I push the numbers to the upper right hand corner instead of the left?
I am hitting a sub right now, Thank you so much
Thanks Robit
great vid!
I appreciate! Thank you mate!
You are welcome Emre
Thank you. Worked well
Hello.
How can I use Roman numerals instead of regular numbers?
nice work! Thanks!
You are a lifesaver.
when i try to bring the text over to gap, the break is deleted. how do i delet the brank page without removing the page break?
Lifesaving video!
Is there any way for the page number to appear on the right-hand side instead of the left?
Yes Lydia, double click on the header or footer (where ever the page numbers are located) then click on the page number and click the right-justify button in the menu up top. The page number will move from left to right.
@@tigertips5309 I can't seem to find the justify menu pop up. If I click on the footer with the page number all I see is the pop up that is shown in your video

This was very helpful but I have a question. If it’s on page three why is it considered section 2? Just curious cuz I like to learn new things. ☺️

Hello, how do you put the text over the gap?
Hi Jordan, what gap do you speak of?
@@tigertips5309 I think I'm having the same problem. I'm unable to find how to remove the empty page created when clicking page break. You said you "bring the text over the gap" at 0:22, but how?
@@GeneralSpazesSpy Can you try placing the cursor in front of your text and click backspace continually to bring it up and over the gap?
I found out how to do it!
You cannot use ctrl + enter when moving text to the next page (since that also is a page break).
thank you sosososososoososossososososososososososososososososo much
(:24) "..now we just bring the text over the gap"- you don't explain how to do that part... I can only assume you are hitting backspace. Nothing I do shows the blue line. What about footers?
what if i want it on footer? :')
no dotted line appears, this isn't working for some reason...
Thank you so much
You are welcome Kevin
How did you move the text over the gap?
Just back space it
manage to start on page 3, but why "1" also shows on the first 2 pages???? help
Untick link to previous on page 3
It still put number in my table of content, 2nd page
I found why. I wanted footer, but I change the header so it doest work. I do the steps on footer then it works just fine.
LIFE-fookin-SAVER!
I'm glad video helped you.
