Making your Google Docs pageless is a breeze, and it can offer a refreshing, continuous writing experience.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Open your Google Doc.

Head to your Google Drive and launch the document you want to make pageless.

Step 2: Access the Page setup menu.

Click on the File tab in the top menu bar. Then, select Page setup.

Step 3: Choose “Pageless” format.

In the Page setup window, you’ll see two options at the top: Pages and Pageless. Click on the radio button next to Pageless.

Step 4: Apply and adjust (optional).

Click OK to confirm the change. Your document will now scroll continuously without page breaks.

You can also choose to pageless as your default and alter your background color, too.

Bonus Step: Adjust text width (optional).

For an even more optimized pageless experience, you can adjust the text width.

Click on the View tab in the top menu bar and select Text width. Choose your preferred width: narrow, medium, or wide.

Your text will now look similar to this:

That’s it! You now have pageless Google Docs.

You’ve successfully converted your Google Doc to a pageless format, ready for uninterrupted writing and seamless editing.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • Pageless documents won’t have page numbers, headers, footers, or columns.
  • Elements like footnotes and watermarks might not be visible in pageless mode.
  • You can easily switch back to the traditional paged format by following the same steps and selecting Pages in the Page setup menu.
