How to turn off page breaks in Google Docs? [closed]

Question

Turn off "Print Layout" from the "View" menu.

I also rarely want to print my google docs, and the breaks annoyed me as well.

I installed the Page Sizer add-on from the add-ons menu within google docs, and made the page really long.

The page settings work globally. So your collaborators will also enjoy a page page-break-free experience in google docs, unlike the style-bot solution.

One option is to just double click the page break line and Google will automatically removed them.

The solution I came up with was to use the publishing feature.

File > Publish to the web...

Then in the URL you can just replace the .../edit path with .../pub

This solves the problem described in the question of breaking up a table with footnotes.

The only way to remove the dotted line (to my knowledge) is with css hacking using plugin.

• Install the User CSS (or User JS & CSS) plugin, which allows adding CSS rules per site.

• Once on Google Docs, click the plugins icon, toggle the OFF to ON button, and add the following css code:

.

.kix-page-compact::before{
    border-top: none;
}

Should work like a charm.

This answer is a summary of comments; but it really deserves its own answer.

The accepted answer (by @BjarkeCK) works, but as written, there is a maximum allowable page height of about 120 inches — roughly the height of 11 normal sized pages. So this is not a perfect solution.

However, there is a hack. You have to edit the source code of your local browser which renders the Page-Sizer settings window and either increase or delete the max attribute for the page height input. As shown in the following screen shot.

Page-Sizer Add-on

To access the source code you need to edit, position your cursor inside the custom height field, right-click, then choose inspect element.

Note that you also have to delete all the page breaks in your original document otherwise no data will render after the first one.

If You want to REMOVE page break from document

use Edit / Find-Replace \f with regex

If You want to TURN OFF (as You asked)

uncheck "Print Layout" from the "View" menu, but dotted lines will remain indicating page breaks
