How do you put a table on the right side of a Google Doc?

You start by clicking "Insert > Table.

" Then you position it, resize it, and do the thing you did in the other Google Docs: click "Format" and choose from a long list of shapes.

The new layout is so much more pleasant. It feels like a design team's handiwork. The table is flush with the right side of the screen. The text is bold, large, and in the same color as the body of the page. And if the table is supposed to be a bulleted list, the bullets are set off by thin, dark lines.

Oh, yes. This layout is for real. The table is really there. (In my case, the table is only about five pages long; I have a small piece of text on the top and four columns of data down the middle. But when I went through this process, a larger, more complex table was waiting for me.)

This table shows how to insert a table in Google Docs. It would be nice if the table was automatically sized and positioned for the most comfortable viewing. But I understand why Google didn't make that happen. A better explanation of the table format, as well as a way to set the background color for the table, would surely help in creating documents that are easy on the eyes.

A few weeks ago I had a project where I needed to create a table with multiple rows and several columns of information. I had a template document on my computer where I could easily add these rows, so I just used that document as a base.

If you're not familiar with this type of table, take a moment to look at an example. This is the table I created from my template. If you look closely, you can see that I was given an option to select the number of columns.

What I like about this table is that I was able to use the spreadsheet style of creating the table with rows and columns, and keep all of my information within one document. However, what I found when I first created my table was that it took up too much space in the middle of the page. The problem is that the top of the table is aligned with the left margin of the page, which is the normal alignment for text. I changed this to the center align, but it didn't change anything.

How do I get the sidebar on a Google Doc?

As part of the beta for Doc Collaborate we've been able to play around with creating a Google Document.

As a newbie the hardest thing for me was to make it show up on the side. The sidebar is just there and there is no button in the toolbar that says add a document.

When I create a document on the left side of the page and then add a sidebar it only shows me an empty page. How can I get my document to show up on the side with all its pages? I'm using Google Apps, so I didn't see any option where you had this. It's really not necessary to show up there because you can share it easily on all your computers with it. For my case, it's much more convenient to have the document open on all my computers on my desk. I'm not sure if what you're talking about is possible.

How do I make a table of contents sidebar in Google Docs?

I need to make a table of contents for my assignment so I can easily go back and read what I've written in my notes.

I am not sure how to make the table of contents (using the sidebar), but I found something that shows a table of contents and I edited the sidebar, I think? Here is the link: But now I can't get it to look like what I want. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I'm even doing it right.

How do I make this table of contents: And this one, which looks like it's from Google Sheets? It's called nested tables. The simplest way to do this is to open a new doc from your current one. Go to Insert > Tables > Nested Table > choose your desired layout, then hit Create to save the new doc. Now you should be able to find the table of contents. There's no limit on how many nested tables you can have. It can have many levels, with the option to place each nested table in a side bar, as you've seen in the link you posted.

EDIT: A simpler way to do this would be to copy the desired content from the sheet, and paste it into the new doc. This will create a table of contents for you.

To duplicate your header table: Select the entire row. Click Insert > Row > Header. To copy your header table content: Select the entire header table content row. Click the Home tab > Copy. Go to any other tab of your document, and then go to the New doc tab. Paste the copied text in the body of your new doc. If you have more specific questions, feel free to leave a comment.
