Google Docs Not Going to Next Line
Here’s how to resolve the “Google Docs not going to next line” problem:
Step 1: Press Ctrl+A to select all content
The issue of “Google Docs not going to next line” typically arises when you modify the indentation values.
To resolve this problem, you can simply set the indentation values to default.
To begin, press Ctrl+A to select all the content in the document.
Step 2: Go to Format > Align and indent > Indentation options
After selecting all the content, click on “Format” in the top menu and choose “Align and indent” from the drop-down menu.
Then, select “Indentation options” from the secondary drop-down menu and proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Set the right indentation to “0”
When you open the “Indentation options” pop-up window, you will see two values listed for indentation: one for the left and one for the right.
You should leave the left indentation value as it is, but it is important to check the right indentation value.
If the value is not already set to 0 cm, you should change it to this value.
Step 4: Choose “None” in the “Special indent” menu
Below the right indent option, you will find the “Special indent” menu.
Click on the drop-down menu and select “None” from the list of options.
Proceed to the next step if the Special indent is already set to “None”.
Step 5: Click “Apply”
Once you have set the indentation values, click the “Apply” button to apply the changes.
Now, when you type, the cursor should automatically jump to the next line once you have finished typing in the current line.
