Office suites are essential for both personal and professional use because thanks to them it is possible to create documents, handle large amounts of data and create presentations with the best levels of professionalism.
One of the most used forms in the subject of presentations is Google Docs , which is integrated with our Google account (Gmail) and has been developed as a word processor through which it will be possible to create new types of documents , edit existing documents or share them on the network with other users..
By using Google Docs it will be possible to host the work in the cloud and then access it from anywhere. Thanks to the pagination as we show in this tutorial, you can have your Google documents organized. This option is really useful when we have extensive work or simply want to properly guide the reader.
There are hundreds of actions that we can perform on the documents created and one of them is to add the page number in order to bring a more consistent order being very useful especially if the document integrates a table of contents. Google Docs does not automatically add page numbers for created documents and therefore TechnoWikis will explain how to achieve it..
