🧵how i format my notes on google docs; a thread. -- #studyspo
1. Page Layout.

PAPER SIZE:
Let's first discuss the layout! I use letter size, but feel free to change it into any size paper you want ^^

COLUMNS:
I use two columns.
Format > Columns > [2nd Opt.]
HEADER & FOOTERS:
I've been getting this question a lot, "How do i make it so that the horizontal line doesn't get affected by the columns?" ez pz, you put it as a header! (this makes it so that it also appears on the top of every single new page)
HORIZONTAL LINE:
Insert > Horizontal line
Make sure you're placing them in the Header and Footer sections
2. Header/Title Block

TITLE BLOCK:
Just like the horizontal line, these are also in the Header area. I use Poppins for these lines.

HOW TO DO CUSTOM SPACING?
Line & Paragraph spacing > Custom spacing > [Insert Custom spacing]
3. Section Headers
I used to do Highlight Color and then TAB TAB TAB. But now i use 1x1 tables.

Insert > Table > [1x1 Table],
and then I change the Border Color of the table to white, and its Background Color to fit the theme. Additionally, I like to Center and Bold my titles
SUB SECTIONS:
For HEADING 2, I use the same insert part. But I do:
Background Color > Transparent
Border Color > [Theme Color, same as Heading 1]
Text Color > [Theme Color, same as Heading 1]
FOR TABLES:
Instead of a 1x1 table, I insert a 1x2 one.
The first cell is,
Background Color > [Theme Color]
Border Color > [Theme Color]

And the second one is,
Background Color > Transparent
Border Color > [Theme Color]
4. FONTS AND SPACING

Arial, 11pt, Single Spacing
Body - Justified Alignment
Headers - ALL CAPS, Bold (H1), Centered
5. FOOTERS
I dont usually include this in my screenshots, but my footers look like this! To do this

Insert > Headers & Footers > Footers
Insert > Horizontal Line
Insert > Page Numbers > [Bottom Left Option]
... and that's it (i think)! Happy notes-ing ^^
if ya'll have any questions, my dms are open or feel free to drop em here
