File sharing via the cloud continues to be a popular option for several people to work on the same document in a central location. However, if you have large documents, it can be daunting to point everyone in the right direction and keep them from having to search for the information they need. Fortunately, Google Docs provides several ways to place page numbers and bookmarks on pages, so directing your collaborators exactly where you want them has never been easier.
Andy Wolber, contributing writer to TechRepublic, shares how to add page numbers and bookmarks to Google Docs, on mobile apps and web browsers.
Google Docs offers a few options for page numbers. First, you can choose whether to put the page number in the header or footer of your document. Second, you may select whether to number every page or to start the sequence after a title page. Google Docs bundles these options and presents you with four settings (as shown below). In a web browser, Google Docs includes additional page number features, such as the ability to insert the total page count, as well as an option to number pages differently in different sections.
Google Docs also offers in-document bookmarks, which let you link to specific text within a document. For example, if you want people to discuss specific sections of a Google Doc, you select text, add a bookmark, then insert a link to each of the bookmarks at the start of your Google Doc. When people open the Doc, they may click (or tap) on the inserted links to go to the bookmarked text.
