(This one is also available in the Docs mobile apps just look for the “Document outline” option in the apps’ main menu.)Ħ. You can then click on any of those sections to jump directly to that part of the document. Docs can automatically organize your documents to make them easier to get around: Open up the View menu and select “Show document outline”–or just hit Ctrl-Alt-H (or Cmd-Alt-H)–and the app will create a complete outline in the left area of the screen, with every line of header text representing a section. Rather than digging around in the Format menu, you can simply highlight the text in question, hit Alt and then /, type “ti”–and then, when “Title Case” appears as the top option, hit Enter to apply it.ĥ.
Say you want to convert some text into title case, for instance.
You can get to any Google Docs function in no time by using the program’s menu search command.Ĥ. Save yourself the trouble of digging through Docs’s menus to find what you need and instead use the Alt-/ shortcut to search all available functions in no time.
