Google Docs launches new Pagination and native printing features

Google has launched Pagination in Google Docs. Pagination is the ability to see visual pages on the screen.

Pagination adds visual page breaks while editing the documents, so now users can see how many pages of that report they’ve actually finished, according to the Official Google Blog.

Also there are some new features: headers now show up at the top of each page instead of just at the top of the doc, manual page breaks actually move text onto a new page and footnotes appear at the bottom of the pages themselves.

Google Docs also added a feature called native printing. Before, if users wanted to print a document, they’d need to convert it into a PDF. With native printing, users can print directly from their browsers and the printed document will always exactly match what users see on their screen.

For now, native printing is only available in Google Chrome.
