Yes. In Google Docs, go to View > Show non-printing characters and then view your sentences for a space before the paragraph break also known as the "pilcrow" (¶).

Please, how can I create more Headings. Google docs alow me 6 headings, but I need 10. Thank you
@thelifeofawriter
@thelifeofawriter 3 күн бұрын
By default, Google Docs provides six heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.), but you can actually add more by customizing the styles or manually using the "Paragraph styles" dropdown to format text as a heading.

@@thelifeofawriter Thank you. But when I go to More Option of table contents (to create more than one table of contents) to choose which levels I need in each table, it apears only the 6 headings available. I dont know if you understand and if there are solution. Manually using Paragraph styles I will be able to create new tables of content? (i need to creat one for the figures, other for graphics...)

Thank you so much for all of the advice! I am finally getting around to actually writing a fantasy story that was inspired by a dream I had 7 years ago that’s been on my mind a lot. I’ve thought about using Wattpad as a lower cost way to start getting exposure for it once I have written it but I’m very worried about someone stealing my idea going that route so it’s nice to understand some of the ways I can protect my book

Hello everyone, I have been trying to turn my book into reality for the past 13 or so years and just seem to fail short. I have many pre writing notes dating from my high school days and I want to make sure everything is fitted snugly in their respective chapters. My struggle is that I have OCD and everything has to look, sound and feel flawless, so I never get anything done. I love to write as you can see but I’m probably the best overthinker in the world. Once my book is finished my goal is to connect my writing on Wattpad and release chapters one by one to create a little suspense to the viewers , and once I get tons of viewers - start a KZbin channel and do “chapter in-depth explaining”. So yeah , I have the foundation for everything but to actually start writing knowing I have to edit sounds challenging to me since I want my first draft to be flawless enough to not even have a 2nd Any feedback is appreciated 😊
