: Re: How do you make page numbers in google docs? I really need to know how to make the page numbers in google docs look like a real book. I know how to do the page numbers, but how do you
I've attempted to address this problem before, and I double-checked both Google help files and Google Add-Ons in hope of finding a solution for you (and me), but I've had no luck.
Google Docs does not distinguish between odd and even pages that, in a book, would become the recto and verso pages. Without recto and verso, one cannot place a gutter margin on the page (as usually required by printers) or position the page number on the upper outside corner.
I hoped that some add-on might retrofit the odd/even distinction onto a document, but I found nothing that would help.
I wonder if you might find some sort of PDF file editor that would do this for you: you'd download your Google Doc as a PDF then feed it to the converter which would add a gutter margin and the page numbers in the appropriate places. It isn't uncommon to see physical books represented electronically as PDF files before they go to press, so this seems to be the next best place to look.
I'm sorry I don't have better news for you.
