To insert page numbers in your Google Doc:

• Go to Insert.
• Select Page numbers.
• Choose which type of page number you want for your Google Doc.

The page number will be added to an existing footer or header—or Google Docs will create a new one for the page number.

Once you’ve inserted the page numbers, you can edit the placement and format of the page number.

To access the page number editor in Google Docs:

• Click on Options on the footer (or header) where your page number is located.
• Select Page numbers.

Page number editing options

You can:

• Edit the placement of the page number.
• Choose whether to show “1” on the first page of your Google Doc.
• Choose a different number to start.
• Choose to continue numbers on new sections or not.

Even if you haven’t already added data in Google Sheets, you can still create the chart or graph first. This actually makes it easier to add the data to the chart, if you’re unfamiliar with Sheets. To insert a chart in Google Docs:

• Go to Insert.
• Select Chart.

And choose which kind of chart/graph makes the most sense for your data set. (You can always switch the kind of chart later, so don’t worry if you think you’ll want to change the chart type in Google Docs.)

Insert a chart you’ve already made in Google Sheets

If you’ve already created a chart or graph in Google Sheets and want to insert it into your Google Doc, then select From Sheets when prompted to select a type of chart.

The rest of the guide will work to help you edit the chart you’ve inserted into Google Docs.

As soon as you add the chart to a Google Doc, a new spreadsheet is created in Google Sheets to hold the data for the chart or graph. In order to customize the chart, you’ll need to edit the data set in Google Sheets.

• Open Google Sheets in a new tab or window.
• Select the “Untitled” chart in Google Sheets.

Now, you’ll go through and edit the chart data directly in Google Sheets. The chart will be visible below your data set and should update as you edit the data.

To edit the data:

• Select and change the values and terms for each subset of data.

Now, you’ll want to edit the details of the chart or graph to make sure it looks just the way you want in Google Docs.

To open the chart editor:

• Double-click on the chart or graph.

You should see the “Chart editor” on the right side of the screen.

Using Chart Editor in Google Sheets

With this editor, you can edit the charts’:

• color,
• size,
• lines,
• and other small details.

As long as you left the chart linked to the Google Sheets, it will update any time you make a change in Google Sheets. So you should see an updated chart or graph here.

You can make adjustments to the chart’s size and placement within the document by dragging it or clicking it to open the image editor.
